Boosted to 5 stars!

My prior 2 star review: Awesome content ruined by constant 5 minute long interruptions of “let’s thank our awesome supporters” Please shorten or remove those interruptions.

My new 5 star review: Awesome content. Helpful info for all levels of podcasters.

Reason for star boost: After a few months Dave initially reduced the interruptions, and after about a year has mostly removed the constant interruptions. Thank you!

Everything from equipment to marketing, this is a great resource and entertaining to listen to as well! Dave is also one of the reasons I decided to use Libsyn!
