  • Very repetitive

    Interesting story but it felt like every episode was exactly the same. Not much of a timeline. I think I had all the info I need after 20 minutes.

    I don’t think I have ever listened to a podcast that was only 14 minutes long. This guy has been stringing us along for two years with these pitifully short episodes. Oh snap, he followed this up with a 19 minute doozy! I take back everything I said.
