  • Get Branson off the pod!

    Branson graduated from college???? He says repeatedly today he wants AI to help him look up the “legality” of banning reporters from the White House. Maybe he’s a good producer, but take him off the mic. He should not provide commentary on serious news stories. Or maybe AI can give him some lessons on the Constitution.

  • Some good content

    I listen to this podcast to get my daily celebrity news but at this point it feels like I’m hate listening to it because the hosts are so infuriating. How does a “news” podcast have so much mispronunciation and incorrect facts?? Charlie and Charlie were okay but the new rotating hosts are mostly terrible. On the last episode I can’t get over how the host kept horribly mispronouncing Gillette Stadium. Aren’t there any editors or producers??

  • Miss both Charlie’s

    As a female listener I prefer a male and female host. You spoiled us with the Charlie’s. I say bring them back but at least have a female host as well.
