  • Loving it! One note, though…

    I’m really enjoying the show, everyone’s enthusiasm is communicated so clearly, and it makes listening to the show a real pleasure. My only note: Brad and Allen need to give each other time to talk. There are so many moments where everyone is excited to say their piece that they’re talking over their cohost and it makes listening a challenge at times.
