  • *sigh*

    I cannot get past the accent. It’s grating on me. I know terrible but the tone of a voice in a podcast is important. I’m sure my voice grates on someone somewhere as well. I tried.

  • Video instead of Audio

    Not a fan, I listen to this while I’m working and they don’t even download and play on my device in the video format. Podcasts are meant to be like listening to the radio not like watching tv, I don’t mind if they had both options but they don’t so if it continues I am going to unsubscribe.
