Pleasantly surprised by how much better it’s becoming under Dasha Burns.
Bring back the old format

Since the playbook podcast got revamped, I’m disappointed. I really enjoyed every morning hearing the 15 minute or so segment that would talk about the top political events in the nation. Now days go by with no podcast and then they will be 45 minutes long. I’m moving on somewhere else.
Pro-Vaping ads?

I generally enjoy this show, but the pro-vaping ads at the beginning are super distracting. I’m a mom to a teenager, and I can tell you that if vaping in teens is at an all-time low, that’s news to me. So many of my 9th grader’s peers love their vape pens. Starting a news show with pro-vaping propaganda is distracting, disturbing and bad form.
Smart Brevity???
