  • Not for me

    Came over for James Pumphrey but barley got to hear what he had to say as a guest and the show just lacks any real structure to what is being discussed. However the constant and abrupt ad breaks were the worse offender. They were too long, too many, and just cut off conversations making it unbearable. This podcast is just not for me.

  • Too political

    Unsubscribing from everything JL. Didn’t listen to these pods to hear people bash religion and name call. Goodbye.

  • What a waste of time

    Ever since they switched to the “YouTube” format, the show went from Good to Insufferable - just bad - I looked forward to this show every week, and now I’m done. I can’t stand it, yuck.

  • Ads ads ads!

    Listened to this because I like Seen Through Glass. Podcast was fun to listen to but full of ads.

    I know Americans are big on consumerism, but this is ridiculous.
