  • Great companion for making meals

    I hate cooking, so I started listening to a podcast while doing food prep, and I was surprised that not only do I positively associate dinner with a good story, but I don’t even want to change which podcast I use for dinner. It’s a great way to essentially watch a show without the visual distraction, and it makes prep so much more bearable. I especially appreciate John’s hosting style, and both of them are great at having back-and-forth discussion that is respectful and interesting while also be... more

  • Great show!

    I’ve had this in my TBR for months and finally got around to listening, and boy! I was glad I did!! This is a fun engaging show! I listened to Voyager first because it’s my favourite but after listening to the first episode, caretaker, they seem to have removed the old catalog and only have the last 100 episodes? Hoping that’s a fluke because I would have loved to listen from the beginning!

  • Problem with uploads?

    I’m coming from Apple Podcasts. There seems to be a huge amount of time left over after the podcast actually ends, and there is just dead space after that. The episodes don’t naturally continue onto the next episode. It is REALLY inconsistent.

    Obviously it is hard the find the next episode after the one I had just listened to, with such a large library.
