The cool ride home
I really enjoy listening to this podcast.
Keep looking
The original show was great - the new hosts are awful. The banter is idiotic and they are really “not an expert” about ANYTHING. Some of the comments they make about stories make me wonder what they are actually schooled in. It’s not math, history or anything to do with ANY science. I really wanted to like this show.
Annoying banter
I don’t need to feel like I am part of a conversation between friends. I just want to hear the news.
