  • New hosts?

    I really like this show, but have found the new hosts skew older (and a little more AM radio) than Jordan. I miss the millennial relatability!

  • Used to Love, Host Change unfortunate

    Not sure away decision was made to remove Jordan as the host of this show but not enjoying the vibe of the new host. Show used to have a much more conversational, every person feel and now feels more technical. Also doesn’t have the same warmth. No longer a regular listener.
