Season 1-3 are great! 5 Stars
In Season 4 half of the time they talk about irrelevant BS.
Get your old format back please
Seasons 1-3 are brilliant. Great stories. Wonderful story telling. Excellent narrator. Season 4 is trying to be Greatest Escapes with Arturo Castro but with excessive commercial breaks.
I just listened to the episode about the lost nuclear weapons. It was really interesting! I would like to listen to more of this show, however, there are so many ad breaks and they’re so long. I seriously fast-forward 30 seconds six times and there’s still another ad. Jenna and Angela were great guests with funny quips. Ed is a great host -very engaging. I get you need to make money however you guys have a lot more ads than any other podcast. I listen to.
I loved the original deep dive into a SNAFU for a season. It takes a lot of time and research to create such a well produced topic. Not loving the new format this season. There’s so many podcasts out there where celebs talk with their celeb friends ad nauseum about whatever topic. Color me disappointed.
I am so grateful for you and this podcast, in particular-so far- for season 2. This story needs telling. This podcast is a gift.
