  • Casual listener beware

    The most frustrating podcasts for me are when the hosts constantly talk over each other. I want to love this podcast so much, I finally finished the books and was so stoked to finally be able to listen to The Black Tower. But as a casual listener, it’s just frustrating. These guys talk over each other continuously, the tangents are inside jokes I don’t understand and after ten minutes I have no idea what is going on or if they’ll ever return to the point.
