  • Horrific screaming

    I swear to God I would actually enjoy this podcast if not for the fact that the host has to screech as loud as humanly possible into the microphone because he thinks it's funny. The retro information is legitimately good, but being obnoxious for the sake of being obnoxious is enough for me to lose all interest.
