  • Interest waning

    I just don’t like the chemistry between Dean and Deron. Nothing against either of them personally, they seem like lovely guys. But their personalities are just too similar. I think the best multi host podcasts pair distinct and complementary personalities that create an interesting on-air dynamic—and this ain’t it.

    The podcast content is also getting stale and formulaic. I really don’t know how many more top-five lists I can listen to.
