Great show, too many ads!

Cheese&Vino

Pretty much what the title says: the program is fun and informative, but the ad breaks go on forever! Half the podcast seems to be ads for other podcasts. Otherwise, very positive
Annoying hosts

The premise is great, but these are two of the most annoying women I've ever heard. Please dump the current hosts and I'll start downloading on a regular basis.
Great Topics, Terrible Hosts.

This podcast is just like listening to a sorority girl and her jock friend flirt and stumble through quasi-history lessons and trying to compel more people to traffic their site...Actually, it's just like that.
Fascinating, charming, and high quality
