  • What’s happening with the sound quality?

    Why’s the sound so tinny? All my other podcasts I listen too have perfect sound , but over the padt 6 or so episodes I’ve noticed a big difference. It sounds completely different.,. As if it’s being recorded by phone or something? Another issue is the the repetitive style of every . Single. Episode. Sooo much repeating of words and the self pro-mo is just overkill . I used to enjoy this podcast, unfortunately it got very suspect in regards to the ‘stories’ - I’m pretty sure they’re fake or peopl... more

    Totally kills the appeal that I previously enjoyed. Also the amount of ads is totally intolerable

  • True stories?

    A lot of it sounds more like fan-fiction.

    Some of them are so drawn out. Not helped by the narrator’s reading-voice.

  • Getting boring now

    I’ve been listening to this podcast since the beginning. I knew when he started with Patreon it was going to get longer, but seriously, it is ridiculous now, the length of time we have to listen about being a member and how cheap it is etc. I don’t know what has happened to the editing, but the previous 10+ episodes have constant repeated sentences and haven’t cut what is an obvious retake. And why all the American adverts ? Shouldn’t it be ads for each location?
