Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 176 ratings
  • Almost FIVE star pod

    This is such a great podcast. Entertaining with great conversations EXCEPT when Holly is on. I’m sorry but she needs to be removed from the Afterhours show. She talks way too fast, almost talking over herself. And she talks like someone raised in the suburbs doing her best “hood” girl impression. And the sex kitten thing is just annoying. Especially when she constantly flirts with guests. It is keeping ya’ll from being a five star pod and ALWAYS cheapens the experience. Please ya’ll, cut ties.

    The few parts I can hear are good. I changed ways to

    listen three times only to figure out it is the podcast that is the issue. Once that is fixed it will be 5 star review.

    Sound is quiet, It’s hard to hear in a noisy environment. I usually listen while I’m working, but working in a noisy lab makes it difficult. Other than the quiet sound and Holly’s voice, I really like the show!
