  • Release the show on Sundays. Not that hard.

    The show is great, ABC needs to fire their podcast team because this show airs at 8 AM eastern time yet here I am at 4 AM Eastern time on Monday in the podcast still has not been released for the current day.

    Super unreliable. Doesn't matter how good the show is if it's not timely.
