  • Interesting, concise

    Content is good. One of the hosts mumbles a lot, it’s hard to understand him. I had to rewind back multiple times to get what he says.

  • The Mmmhmm, yeah, yep is distracting

    I am so interested in this subject matter and several of the specific subjects. But, as a fellow ADHD’r, I can not tune out the constant Mmm-hmmm, yep, yeah and the host interrupting. Every one of those requires my brain to try to refocus on the guest.
