  • Saturation

    I have always liked the show but, sadly, it has become too much work. Tons of pointless previews that must be deleted. A summary that must be deleted. Reruns that are not marked as such and must be looked over abd deleted. And deleting guests who say the same thing each week. They are killing their own show by drowning it in pointless stuff.

  • Formatting

    Great show, however, the formatting of the episodes are ridiculous to have all of multitude of podcast episodes for one daily show. Previews are not necessary for segments under 15 minutes. The recent titles don’t fit on the preview. Let’s use common sense on the production side of this very informative show.

  • Excellent contact, bad format

    Best show for a diverse and comprehensive information on a wide variety of topics.

    Difficult to listen when a continuous conversation is broken into small segments.

    Terrible descriptions of the segments and getting worse.
