I’ve been a long time listener. I enjoy the content. But the last couple of weeks of podcasts have become unlistenable due to the technical glitches. Podcasts skip around, restart on their own, have the ends cut off and can’t handle simple scrubbing to different parts of the podcast. Maybe it is the platform, but it’s horrible now.
rinella the hypocrite. Talks about gun control while hunting with one. Pompous dbag. How can rinella have friends? Have no idols and rinella is a pansy
Dear God, PLEASE back Heffelfinger up from the mic. We can hear every single mouth noise or at the very least give that man some water.
Since adding the video aspect there are constant problems with downloading and scrolling through even the audio only version of the podcast. It will freeze and buffer at random points even when downloaded. Makes listening while working or driving very inconvenient to the point I’ve started just skipping episodes. YouTube is just a better platform if someone wants to watch the video, please either fix the problem or go back to audio only.

Not having any interest in video, I kept downloading the audio versions.
