Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 93 ratings
  • Way too many commercials

    It’s hard to listen to the show with so many long commercials, then Tom has to get in his commercials also. The hour long show sounds like a 30 minute commercial.

  • Poor editing

    Love the show with Coach Stoops and love our Cats. The editing is terrible. Inserting commercials mid sentence or mid word is very distracting. I have never seen any other podcast edit in commercials this way.
