finally gave up and just unfollowed after 10 + years of Bombcast - Mike talks over the entire team throughout the entire show. He also doesn’t understand any sort of tact that maybe the listenership doesn’t find it cheeky or fun to remind us 14 times an episode that we should be spending money on them. The landslide downwards has been insanely fast. It’s especially odd considering they are the last of their contemporaries to go independent and are the ones to fail the worst at it.
Been listening to it for 15 years but Jeff bakalar has completely destroyed this podcast. He uses every opportunity he can to bash Christians and people that don't align with him politically. Moving on...
Gaming & Game coverage is one of my escapes from the daily grind of political news, coverage, & opinions.
Unfortunately this is another media group that automatically assumes that everyone wants to hear this in everything we listen too. Guess what, we don’t!
Also keep in mind that you automatically alienate at least half the population when you go this route.
It’s good they go on a bit but Jan is amazing
Congrats on independence
