4.0 out of 5 stars from 30 ratings
  • This show is unedited

    It’s ironic a show by content gate-keepers demanding broadcast ready material don’t properly produce a podcast. Far too often I’m wondering why we’re hearing connection problems or horrible music playback. Mostly it’s host navel gazing.

    Taxi is refunding Subscription money... Is it going out of Business? Is Taxi going under? Seems they have horrible customer service.... spend way too much on these Michael talks where he is the center of it all and don't have any good web programming... Broadjam is eating their lunch...
