Apple Podcasts2Trudy112233United States8 months 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?

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
