  • Prefer the bleeping to the cursing

    This is my favorite podcast hands down, but recently the cursing is getting worse and it is no longer being bleeped out. I have recommended this podcast to others, but am a little embarrassed now because of it. The content is fantastic and I enjoy your teaching styles and love your personality which shine through on the broad cast; just not the cursing. Thank you for all the hard work you put into this program!
