  • Sorry but this was pretty hard to listen to...apologies to the host (and by knock on effect, the guest) but jeez, talk about going round the houses with totally irrelevant chit chat...But why?? Unsubbed.

  • Terrible format

    The stories covered are interesting but the way they are covered ruins the narrative every single time. It’s just a casual conversation with a host who plays clueless so we get only the broad brushstrokes and a few odd details in no particular order,along with quips and personal obsessions of the host. I tried but I’m done. It would be better to just read the original story or just lookup the story on Wikipedia and make my iMac read it to me.

  • Terrible host, great Richard

    The host is unbearable but I still listen for Richard. So maybe not unbearable as I bear it. Would be nice to hear Richard only, or with a host who has a brain. Makes perfect sense the host is obsessed with astrology. I see I am not the only who thinks the host is terrible. This is the first review I have ever written on a podcast and I was “inspired” to because the host is so bad. My goodness.

  • Oj case

    One important point of difference from the civil vs criminal trial was change of venue. The civil trial got moved to simi valley and had an all white jury.
