  • Deeply disappointed

    I am a subscriber to tenderfoot and I’m pretty disappointed these days. The most recent season of UAV was largely just repeated information over and over again; the episodes never picked back up when they said they would and they gave no update or communication about when the show would return, leaving listeners wondering what is happening for months on end. I’m not disappointed so much about the lack of episodes but rather the lack of communication. Y’all have lost a subscriber—I would love to ... more

    Payne is the best. The hard typing sound or made up typing sound during the interviews were a bit loud

  • Great Content yet Too many Ads and recapping

    Absolutely love this show and is always so intriguing and no can’t stop listening. I have listened since the early days of Tara Grinstead. Please stop with eating so much of episodes though duplicating what you said last episode and chill with all the ads. A “45 min” episode actually only had about 30 mins or less of new content.

  • Terrible

    The lastest episodes are nothing but regurgitated repeats of previous seasons and episodes.

    Even WITHIN the episodes it’s repetitive . Someone will tell their experience and Payne will then literally repeat verbatim what they just said, and not because the interviewee was difficult to understand, but clearly as filler.

    Payne is riding the coattails of his first successful season. Each successive season gets worse.

    Also I have come to hate Payne’s narration. He has the charisma, personali... more
