    Stumbled upon this podcast and was really interested in the episode from the description. but OH MY GOD the host is just screaming I actually couldn’t get more than 5 minutes into it. Disappointed.

  • I want to love this podcast

    The range of topics covered. The knowledge. I love. And yet, Rosie dominates every conversation. It’s too much. She just asked Jason a question, having talked forever to frame it, then Jason said one short sentence, and she interrupted him. Bummer.

  • Please stop interrupting each other

    Great to see Jason again after his time at the Ringer. I’m not a fan of his chemistry with Rosie, especially compared to his vibe with other female co-hosts, such as on the official game of thrones pod. I find that both hosts interrupt each other, but Rosie tends to do it to make detractive points while Jason does it to speed the show up. And Rosie please limit the excited shriek. It’s fun sometimes, but not every episode.

  • Ok

    Rosie doesn’t add much, but it’s a fine review pod otherwise.

  • Good content, ridiculous ads

    Love this show, but getting 9 minutes of ads on 13 minutes of content makes it practically unlistenable
