  • Not the same show anymore

    I’ve listened to this show for over 10 years. Over the years they have been adding more and more commercials to the point it’s annoying. The whole point of the podcast was due to it being a 4 hour show and 1/2 of that is commercials when listing live. Now it’s almost 1 hour of junk commercials.

    Listened for years, was very helpful and entertaining. Had to stop because of the constant repetitive commercials. Plus the volume level seems as if done by a third grader. Can barely hear the callers, then commercial blasts, then Toms shouting. Not worth turning the volume up and down. God forbid a caller has a complaint about a sponsor, because the caller will definitely be berated. Makes the caller feel like a “MORON” for calling in. I finally did what you usually suggest. “If you don’t like... more
