  • You’re hustling us

    I subscribe to this podcast to hear what Ted Cruz thinks. I don’t really care a lot what Ben Ferguson thinks. But you’re pushing his podcast and other podcasts to me now. I don’t like that.

  • Good content, too much crossover clutter

    There is far too much duplication and unwanted downloads that now clutter my feed between this and 47 update. Don’t have time to curate my feed own from unwanted “suggestions” so unsubbed from both.

  • Pls stop the Clay/Buck drops!

    I’ve subscribed to Verdict a long time, but don’t appreciate you filling my feed for many days now with OTHER podcasts. I can appreciate you promoting others now &then but this constant posting of 1 other pod is excessive & inconsiderate.

    Friendly request! Please honor it

  • Would be great without the “bonus” episodes

    Love the actual Verdict podcast, but wish they would stop with the “Bonus” episodes that are a completely different show. Recommending another show, or maybe even previewing it once, would be okay. But playing someone else’s show week after week, and passing it off as a “bonus” Verdict episode is annoying. If I wanted to listen to another show, I’d subscribe. Also, stop the recap episodes that simply repackage the episodes from the prior week.
