That was a few months ago. I upped my rating to 5 ⭐️ because one thing overrides my complaints: episodes keep coming. How many podcasters don't release the seasons they say they will?
-----The series is good and I do love the full cast productions (during an interstitial piece after "Making the Cut" a caller who "speaks for all" informed the writer we "just want the story". He forgot to ask me). Bare bones story telling is better than nothing, but …
Speaking of feedback, enormous amounts of each episode is given to feedback of previous episodes which ain't so great but made worse by dreadful audio, discussion of the writer's process, his personal experiences with other podcasters and podcasts, etc. Never once does he reveal during the outro of up to 8 minutes why he says "pellow" instead of "pillow".
On Overcast you can set to skip the intro or outro if you wish. There's no reason to skip an outro of excellent music but writing stats of unpredictable length are a different story.
A note for bea1701 who wrote this in the "review" spot:
"if you're not listening- YOU SHOULD BE!"
I hope you take a second look and ask why YOU should be telling people to listen. It's not a review if it's a demand.
