  • Painful to listen to sometimes

    The chosen topics are extremely interesting, but the interviews themselves can be a bit painful, often with very little chemistry. The latest episode as of this writing “why young adults can’t stop spending” was especially painstaking to hear and I was unable to listen all the way through.
