  • Awkward Structure

    Good content, but the structure of forcing guests (who seem kinda random and not experts or anything) to read Brian’s researched factoids back to him is kinda odd. Also, please fix your cover art. 80s and 90s are not possessive. Drives me nuts!

  • Nice idea, but sounds like someone reading a report

    As I noted in the title, this is a nice idea with some interesting topics from the 1980s. It, however, sounds like someone is reading a report that they made for a teacher without a lot of natural, pausing, tone, and inflection.
