  • Why?

    You had a great thing now you charge a fortune for content? It’s limited. I would like 2/3 guests you had on… for me to pay yet another subscription it would have to be perfect! 4 or 5 times an 8 minute segment per week isn’t work the kind of dollar you’re asking for. Unsurprisingly, I’ve unsubscribed. Ciao.

    Why are the episodes not listed chronologically, from newest to oldest. It’s incredibly, incredibly annoying paying a sub for something that worked better when it was free
