  • Half ads!

    This is a compelling podcast undermined by three 5 minute ad breaks on each episode I've listened to. The format of suspenseful music and conversational tone is dissonant with the loud, varied radio-style ads.

You clearly haven’t listened to him and I mean really listened. I got none of what you mention from anything he spoke about. Don’t be such a fool. Charlie spoke of his truth. He gave everyone a chance to rebuttle and did so respectfully. He conceded when he didn’t have an answer and was thankful to all who stepped up. I ... more
