Apple Podcasts5Riley’sfavoriteUnited States10 months ago - Great podcast, bad editing
It seems other people are echoing the same sentiment. This a great podcast with valuable information and perspective BUT the ads often (maybe even always) come in mid sentence. I can get past the audio quality, but please just find someone to help with editing.
