  • FIVE min 'til content…

    …is TOO long!!! if you want to do multiple commercials in the beginning, then you’ve got to quit playing so much music. I really love the podcast in general so I can’t understand why you would choose to purposefully irritate with all the music in the beginning. The first part last too long…. But then when you make us listen to more music right before you start talking, it feels like you’re torturing us on purpose.

    Every other part is great, so can you please figure out a way not to make us wait ... more

  • Can’t do it anymore

    I’m sorry but I have to unfollow after 6 years of listening. 8 ad breaks with an average of 2 minutes each is just too much!! I get you have to do ads to get paid but it’s just too much.

    Also the commentary is unbearable sometimes. ‘He opened the window and his breath fogged in the cold winter air’. Like common, were you there? Too much elaboration.
