  • 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.
