This is a great show for chemistry between the hosts as they cover a variety of topics. Gary keeps things on track, while Shannon google-googles inappropriate things because she forgets she’s on a radio show. I listen to every episode as soon as it publishes, and they’ve played many of my talk-backs on air. I’m a genuine fan. I also acknowledge people’s issues with the ads being excessive and intrusive. To be fair, the interrupting ads have been cut back, and the ads present are less annoying th... more
Love Gary and Shannon, not hearing the same 3 mins of ads every time there’s a commercial break.
This is a great show for chemistry between the hosts as they cover a variety of topics. I listen to every episode as soon as it publishes, and they’ve played many of my talk-backs on air.

Ad breaks are frequent and long. Worst of all they start mid-sentence so that when break is over and content restarts (again, mid-sentence) you’ve forgotten what they were talking about. I understand that ads are part of the deal but, maybe KFI can put more effort into where they insert the breaks and show a little bit of respect for listeners.
Listening Learning Laughing. Well Done.
