  • I love this podcast but

    It recently switched to giving a free portion and a subscription followup. The 5/7/22 ended with a pitch to hear the rest via subscription. Now I don’t mind a subscription for podcasts I really love but a heads up that this was going to be the new way to consume the whole podcast would have been nice. I will not be following up though.
