  • Volume levels need editing

    Still like this podcast but speakers volumes are uneven and Jim often sounds like he’s been on the booze cos he has no idea he’s hijacking the podcast - the topics are very interesting tho

  • Unprepared and unpolished

    I listened to one episode and could not finish it. One of the podcasters was so unprepared it was frustrating to listen to. Makes me wonder how badly their work was done when they worked for the FBI. Yikes.

  • Love the premise but can we just have the women?

    When Jim is focused his thoughts really add value, but I have only listened to a couple of episodes a Jim just goes on and on and on. All he does is interrupt and talk over the women.

    The episodes could be half as long if he didn’t keep repeating himself and going off on his own path.

    Give the women chance to speak and give their thoughts instead of cutting them off all the time
