United States17 days ago - 50% of the time just replaying old episodes. My biggest pet peeve.
Really wish you’d stop replaying old podcast episodes. If people want to rehear them for the third time they can do that on their own. It’s just a simple scroll. I’d rather you didn’t upload any episode for the week instead of being faked out by a “new episode” available alert that’s just a replay.

Trump doesn’t care about what others think of what he can and cannot do, he just does it. We progressives do believe that government can do good for people, we should cease on this time and not let a good opportunity go to waste.... more
