  • Meh.

    The content on this podcast is great which is what I was looking for. The host’s, however, are unbearable. Aziz and his insecure 3-4 chuckle giggle and Ashaya’s absolutely grating voice. On episodes that feature her heavily every time she starts to speak it’s jarring due to pitch and wavering of her voice. While I do enjoy the content within the show, I do wish the show wasn’t scripted. The obvious following of the script makes it less intimate.

    Found this show by watching Alt Shift X. Started from the old and moving forward. One or two guest are not for me. But the main stays are what carry me through my work shift.
