  • Horrible host.

    I used to be a big fan. Even paid for no ads. This new host is insufferable. The only way I can stand this show now is by fast forwarding, which I can’t do sometimes. Unsubscribed… waiting for any other host..

  • Goodbye to my favorite podcast

    What a lack of awareness of your audience to change the host to Jeff Foxworthy. Not only was the change extremely clunky and disjointed, but the voice he does genuinely makes the podcast unlistenable now. I’ll miss the stories but it’s not worth skipping through Jeff’s parts now. Huge disservice to the fans.

  • So sad it’s gone so downhill

    This used to be my favorite podcast. Such cool unique stories. The change in host is absolutely awful. Out of all the temporary hosts they had this was by far the worst choice to have as the new full time host. Unfunny and annoying. Doesn’t match the vibe of the podcast at all. The stories themselves have also gone majorly downhill. I find myself board and not paying attention. It’s time to unsubscribe
