  • Too many ads

    I used to listen to Mike and Jennifer, but lately there have been more ads than content in their shows.

    Also, it feels like they give a snippet of information, but are pushed to their blog to get the rest of the story.

    The podcast now feels like more a revenue generator than a real podcast.

  • Note to Jennifer

    Did you know your cover art has a different title than the podcast itself? (RV Lifestyle vs. The RV Podcast.). It might help people searching for your podcast if they were the same :-)
