I've listened to 436 episodes. While I know Jason is liberal, and his cringe takes come through especially unpalatably at times, I've been able to overlook them for the quality and entertainment value of the podcast as a whole. The care for classic tales, myths, and legends shines through.
What I cannot abide, however, is taking blood money and promoting murder in my ears. If I hear one more Planned Murderhood ad, I'm never listening again.
