reviewingandratingalways ,

1 1/2 speed listener

Still one of my top favorites! very interesting commentary and guests interviews. I love the exposure I’m having to Texan Mexican accents.
I’m still in that 1 1/2 speed tho my NYC ears can’t go any slower.

Pro tip for east coasters: bring up the speed a smidge. You won’t regret it!
