  • Good but needs work

    This show is now 50% content from other shows that I don’t want to hear. Removing them from my feed is messing with my other subscriptions

  • Good content, bad audio

    The show has good perspective and great guests, but the audio is intolerable. Jeff seems to fade into mumbling frequently, and the interstitial audio is often much louder than the talking. It’s painful to listen.
