Their output and quality is down significantly over the last few years. The host’s microphone hasn’t worked for the past month. Short podcast to begin with then the mic goes out, there’s silence, he comes back to talk about the mic not working and saying he still needs to order a new one, next podcast same thing happens again. Seems kindof important to have a working mic for a podcast. There’s barking dogs, crying kids and sounds from traffic in the background. The host complains about being really busy meanwhile puts out 20 minute podcast a week with 3-4 minutes of ads and intro. Cohosts are always coming in late or leaving early. Not trying to be mean, I was a huge fan for many years you guys can do better than this. Same thing behind the paywall 2 podcasts since February 25? Weak
Clueless
