  • Apple Podcasts Ruined It

    I love this podcast to help me sleep and tech me new random information. Apple’s new mandatory ads ruined it. They are loud and ruin the vibe. When I’m about to fall asleep it wakes me up, which is the opposite of what the show is supposed to do. I’m going to have to look for a new platform or go back to audio books. It’s too bad because I was so happy when this show became part of my sleep routine.

  • Perfect Podcast

    I don’t care for whispery voices or background music. I love this podcast for being the most easy listening show out there. Mr Boster’s voice is calm and (best of all) clear and his subject matter is always intriguing.
