I have been a very long time listener when PP was just a single feed. Now you can pick and choose. I still get the complete feed because I don't want to miss out on the goodness. The only thing that annoys me is Greg Ferro's childish and grossly overgeneralised comments. He used to be entertaining with his contrarian views but now it's just grating. I am sure he has a lot of knowledge to share but he doesn't come across that way. The rest is great
