    I really enjoyed past gas, it had a great storytelling aspect and I genuinely learned a lot. it had been a pillar of my commutes, and a good road trip, because it’s funny, it’s high energy, and it’s informative about the topic. This feels like listening to ambient conversation in an autozone or something. i gave it a solid try, and it’s a tough listen.

    The elephant in the room is losing james, it hurt the vibe of donut really bad. I wish success for Nolan and Joe, this ones just not for me, an... more

  • So many ads

    On average it’s 45 minute episodes with 15 of those minutes being ads. Very obvious this podcast is just a money grab. They don’t care about the content or quality of the content. Just want money from advertisers. 👎
