I understand the need of ads but adding them in the middle of the podcast make it confusing. I give up after S2 E2.
I am so glad I heard about this podcast when I saw Ed Helms interviewed somewhere. I don’t know if there is anything quite like it out there in the podcast universe. Quirky, informative and fun!
Love this podcast! I will buy the book but would love more podcast seasons as well!
Hi Ed I’ve listened to both season 1 and 2 and enjoyed both very much. As I’m a Boomer and season 2 really was informative and with the political changes since its release I would be interested in an update on FBI surveillance of the USA population. Looking forward to starting season 3 soon. Please keep up the great work on your podcast.
