  • Way to many sponsors

    I had to stop listening because it feels like there are more sponsors than content. Too bad, it looked like an interesting podcast. I support sponsoring, but there is a limit.

A typical show will go off the rails with the host pontificating at length about some topic he thinks he can sound smart about or trying tp relate everything back to his own experien... more
