  • Stop Adding Cover Zero

    Please stop adding Cover Zero to this feed. The podcast app automatically plays it right after I listen to it on the other feed. Most of the time I’m driving and shouldn’t be looking at my phone. Please stop adding it to two feeds.

  • Lemond’s value

    Ryan Lemond is absolutely, unequivocally, STEALING money from KSR. It’s hilarious. Zero show prep, zero original content, zero thought, for that matter. How much they paying you to be a Jones echo chamber, son? It’s actually hilarious.

  • Don’t want Cover Zero

    Why have Cover Zero in the radio show feed other than to inflate the Cover Zero numbers? I’ve unsubscribed until it’s removed.
