Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 2.8k ratings
  • I love the podcast content and hosts, but the ads are atrocious. This is true with all iHeart podcasts but seems worst with this one. Literally just had a ~3 minute commercial break, a 2 minute outro/credits, followed by another full commercial break before the end of the episode. The ad/content ratio is unacceptable.
