  • 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.

  • Harder to listen to what you want

    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
