  • New cohost leaves a lot to be desired

    It’s one thing if the guy was like the guys before and was curious about the cases but had no knowledge; the new host tells you all about what little he knows and how he wishes he had the time to prepare for the episode by reading or watching whatever. This is a REVOLUTIONARY idea but maybe we prep for the podcast? Too much to ask you listen to an audiobook or watch a documentary over the course of a week before you get into the subject?? Lazy work and he’s not even funny
