  • Lose Aria Finger

    Reid is great, but removing this one from my feed until Aria is out. She is weak, her affect is silly, and the contrived vocal fry is like fingernails on a chalkboard….

  • HOST IS CONSTANTLY MOANING INTO THE MIC😵‍💫

    Interesting subject matter but the male host is constantly moaning, maybe grunting while the guests are speaking. It’s so distracting that I couldn’t absorb the conversations. For a show that covers a lot of tech, one would think they’d utilize tools like the mute button for the mic track.
