    The editing on this pod can be so bad man I once heard 5 minutes of dead air on one episode and on another the episode’s audio clipped and started playing the beginning of the interview segment of the episode. Sometimes the people on this podcast make me feel like I’m reading wine spectator. Good show otherwise.
