They might be great stories, but I'm sorry, I didn't get to hear any. On my first listen I tired very quickly of Kevin and his promotions.
Apple Podcasts1FalcoBabimUnited States3 months ago - So much fluff
I really want to love this podcast but there’s entirely too much fluff around the stories. Commercials are already a pause from the story but then add in the music intro random extra music etc. I don’t mind the host speaking but wow.
