  • Nice podcast

    Good reporting. They could use better editing, and cut back on the long commercial ads. And does anyone else feel like the Saturday theme music sounds depressing?

  • Ad to content ratio

    The reporting is good, but there is regularly more ads than content in each episode. I get it, need to pay the bills, but it’s forcing me to skip the listen all together.
