  • Too much mouth noise

    Great idea production no so much . I struggle with misophobia , not trying to be rude but if they can find a way to not let the tacky saliva noises come through as they talk I could be a big fan . The slight lisp thing isn’t so bad . But those other little mouth noises kill me . It’s literally right in my eardrum.

  • Unique but Used to Be Much Better

    I’m a very long-time listener. The host and the show are unique but the format has changed so that only patrons get the best and most interesting episodes which feature original research. Regular listeners are served interviews with others and they are not all worthwhile. Of course patrons deserve special shows but they seem to not care about other listeners or building their show and I’m tuning in less and less

  • Hard to listen to. The female has a boring, monotonous voice. The guy isn't much better.
