- Excellent & Relevant
I’ve been a day one listener and enjoy the three hosts, their insights, and chemistry. Only two comments that would improve the listener experience: 1) Eliminate the message breaks that occur barely a minute into each episode; and 2) Discontinue recommendation episodes in the podcast feed. Cheers!
