  • Great

    I love these podcasts but the ads are so frequent and so loud. I’d give it five stars except they feel so much more intrusive than any other podcast I listen to. The content is intelligent, succinct and clear. I wish it was for longer as it’s so engaging. Pity about the ads but you need money. Thanks for the podcasts.
