Show itself is great, however PLEASE create a channel for full shows only and turn off Apple auto chapter creation as they are rubbish.
I loved listening to Heather du Plessis-Allan flirting with NZ Rugby CEO Mark Robinson when he kept trying to dodge questions and be a politician haha.
Only leave full show so can turn on automatic downloads so I don’t get spammed with all the 2-5minute segments. Thanks
