  • Redundant shows delivered via this subscription

That is highly annoying and seems to be unique to KXNO podcasts. I don't know if the do that to artificially pump up their download stats or not, but it has to stop. The shows are too great to abuse loyal listeners in this way, therefore the one star rating.... more
