I used to really enjoy the banter, laughs, & fun & the realness of the hosts. Really miss that. Not sure I’ll be listening every day now.

With the original hosts no longer on the show, there is no reason for it to continue. The show limped along after Molly left, thanks solely to Kai. Kim can’t carry a show to save her life and adding Reema made it so much worse.

Libaries?
Replayed numerous times. Mispronouncing a word that is often mispronounced by the youth of America, not by professional journalists.
Apparently You corrected it in the middle of the show (assuming Courtney may have slacked/texted) but near the end the mispronunciation was obvious. Not the end of the world, but I do have a high standard for you both.
Reading some other reviews that are dogging the show post Kai- be better on the little stuff like this.
