There is interesting information presented here, but I have to question the credibility of some the podcasts. Especially when the host uses the non-existent word irregardless. Also I’m hearing words being mispronounced. I agree with other comments about the amount of ads at the beginning and end. But I guess that’s how they keep the podcast free to listeners.
Too many ads
