I appreciate that there’s a meticulously color-coded google cal somewhere that needs filling, but would you consider ditching the auctions/drafts episodes? They’re all crazy bloated, and have no stakes whatsoever for the listener. Also, respectfully: I’m sure your kids are super adorable and charming, but maybe save the anecdotes for a breakout ringer parenting pod?

The podcast is okay. The woman on the podcast kinda brings my rating down. She’s just incoherent when stating her opinions. Either she has not seem the film or doesn’t understand film. She also really hates on men in one episode. Other than that, it’s a decent podcast.
Drafts are dumb
