Apple Podcasts2Trudy112233United Statesa year ago - Solid content, terrible delivery
Been a fan of Nick's since the '90s. Love his movie reviews and pop culture discussions. That said, this podcast is so amateurish, it's almost unlistenable. Why? While Nick does his homework, he can't make it thru an episode without a ridiculous amount of stammering beyond his usual "ums" and "ahs." There's no way he practices reading whatever notes he has prior to recording an episode. If you're not going to practice whatever you're going to share, at least go in and edit out the "ums" and "ahs... more
