  • Loved it..having some issues now.

    Been listening for a while and enjoyed it. I found lots of value in the commentary and it helped me understand. Now I’m really struggling with the sudden increase of filler phrases such as “right” or “you know” being injected way too often. I don’t know why the change happened, it wasn’t always there.

  • Great content and illuminating discussions, but audio is so bad

  • Great Information

    But please slow-down.

    When I listen, I imagine you are talking while constantly peering over your shoulder to check a clock as you think, “I’m late!! I’m late!!”

    Wouldn’t it be better to instead slow-down and “savor” every word of these beautiful texts?

  • Such a great tool for daf yomi study

    This podcast has helped my circle of friends learning DY so much. We all use it a little differently. I so appreciate the time and care that the hosts put in. I know it isn’t easy. The daf waits for no one!
