  • Mr. F

    Love the show, but recent banter with Mr. F is cringy and unnecessary. Just want to get to the interview and personal experiences.

  • FFWD 20 min

    Great content, but I gotta dock it 1 star due to the insane need to FFWD. Seriously. iTunes has their ads before the show starts. Then the host has 3-5 minutes of ads. Then the show starts, but it’s another 5-10 min of plugging for other show-adjacent things. Then, if a guest has a book, they’ll introduce the guest and talk about the book for 5-7 min. Then another ad break. THEN—finally—the actual material begins. The 2025 thanksgiving episode starts at 20 min. Smash that FFWD button!

  • No more Mr. F

    Please no more of him, also so weird you call him that. Love the usual content just either call him by his real name so he doesn't sound like your pimp or not have on the show at all.

  • Be prepared to skip 1/3 of the episode to get to the topic

    I love this show, but I’m getting tired of having to hunt down where the actual content I subscribed to listen to is within the episode :( The more recent ones you have to skip 30 minutes or so into the show past random conversations with Mr. F, the boyfriend, that aren’t very interesting or relevant to the topic of the episode... It’s cool y’all want to do something together, but maybe move that portion to the end of the episodes as like an “after episode chat” segment instead?
