  • Vastly Improved in Recent Episodes

    I was finding the show extremely hard to listen to, with incessant giggling and chatty-Cathy banter ruining the episodes. However, the recent episode on water filters presented the information in a mature, straightforward way that was FAR more pleasant to listen to. If they keep this up I will be a regular listener to this program. Bravo!
