  • The bit got old

    Will is just too full of himself, and I feel he dominates every conversation he’s in.

    It was pretty funny at first, but after a while it really dragged every conversation i feel.

    When he starts talking I just zone out, even when I agree with him! Which I actually agree with him often, but I just don’t jive with his personality.

    I do enjoy Katie and Maria, though I do find it disappointing that I feel Katie is usually the only one with a different / unique opinion.

    From what I’ve listened Will... more

  • Final star is the audio quality!

    Love the content, love the hosts, great fun! The only thing that’s missing is consistent sound quality. The hosts are all at different volume levels sometimes, and sometimes their audio cuts out. The mild frustration is worth the good time but I wish they could someday all have individual mics and align the audio in post instead of recording a zoom call

What that goat do (Slewfoot | Brom)

I think if he had leaned more into Edward's sense of self within the being Samson, it could have created a more cohesive narrative.
Return of our Alien Boyfriend?? (Apostles of Mercy | Lindsay Ellis)

We might get another romance for Cora that could be equally problematic.
Kids read this?? (House of the Scorpion | Nancy Farmer)
