  • So many ads

    Great show overall but the episodes are now constantly interrupted by a ton of ads. An episode I’m listening to right now looks like it’s 40 minutes but then when you start listening, it shows as 51 minutes… more than 20% ads now. It’s really disruptive to the flow of narrative.

  • Hosts not good

    The idea of this show is great. But for whatever reason the dialogue of the hosts and their voices is just beyond annoying. I have had to stop listening. I come back and check to see if it’s the same hosts bc if that changes I may listen again.
