  • Contain the rhetoric

    Love this podcast - have listened to every episode (upholder much?). But the claims in episode 575 (and others) that each episode is original is too much. There are number of episodes with a new 2 minute intro and then an old episode is played. Doesn’t really meet the definition of ‘original’. This podcast is great - don’t debase yourself with this type of rhetoric.
