  • Unprofessional

    You don’t seem to have an editor. You leave in irrelevant calls, and the resulting fluster that it causes the hosts. Mikaela stutters and stammers and she sounds perpetually stuffed up. “Verbont” I can’t stand it. The guests are good, and the topics are interesting. Please make it sound more professional and smoother

  • Love the show but…..

    I love the show but some of the programs are just boring and useless.

    I love Jane Lindholm and miss her very much, the new hosts voices are super annoying.

    I love when brave little state does it because they are clear and factual.

How is giving a vaccine at an inn, Jazzfest or speedway conducting the (emergency authorized) vaccination as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental injury? How is administ... more
