Some of these shows have gaps of silence that show up sporadically throughout the runtime. I don't know if the producer is aware of this or not. It obviously wrecks the narrative completely.
After all the talking and all the ads, I found I spent as much time pressing fast forward as I did listening.
For cleaning these shows up. Love Johnny Dollar.
The slip ins are never relevant but always irritating
I love Adam's podcasts!
