Customer Reviews
It’s pretty bad…
I’m a big fan of Greg Pliska’s work and AJ Jacob’s writing. But this is just awful.
There have been some great guests but AJ isn’t a great host and the ads are about 50% of the show - which is SUPER annoying on such a short show.
I keep hanging on but I don’t know if I can take much more. Incredibly disappointing.
Love the puzzles. Hate the long ads
I like started day with the puzzles. Although skipping the ads is not hard, it is annoying. There’s too many ads. Specially at the end.
Puzzled
I’m puzzled as to where the Nov 24 episode is. The normally 80% advertising content has jumped to 99%. Interesting direction. Dare I say puzzling?
