  • Love Britt but time to quit

    This has become quite boring. All it is, is rewinds with the occasional random boring guest. I think it’s time to throw in the towel unless new content is coming out. Most people listened to this to get VPR or Valley tea not get hear a million repeat episodes or guests with nothing to do with her. Not sure how it’s still on.
