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.
