Customer Reviews
New Sunday Feature Makes Good Better
I was already an appreciative regular listener when they added the “single issue” Sunday feature. Nice touch! Mr Brown’s chat with Julia Coronado regarding our economy and current inflation concerns answered so many questions for me. Thanks!
Dana Farber
The only downside is they’ve played the exact same Dana Farber ad for the past year. Please mix it up at least. There’s also a 50/50 chance that the you’ll be hearing email and messaging noises as people are speaking.
Ears Bleeding
I’m literally begging you to get pop guards for your reporters.
