Just discovered the show, very interesting but please remove the vocal fry. Thank you
Normally I really enjoy this show but it’s become weirdly religious over the last few shows
What a waste of time, they made it all about race, yawn, how very 2020. Don’t bother spending the time on this.
Couldn't make it through the intro of an episode. The vocal fry was beyond aggravating.
this is literally just a duplicate for today, explained. they crosspost the episode every time. what’s even the point of this show when it already exists with today, explained? makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. also with regards to spotify: turn comments back on!!! it’s giving “we’re afraid of (completely warranted) audience backlash so we’re not going to allow criticism at all like a coward”. not a good look, y’all.
