Customer Reviews
Enjoyable
I do enjoy the podcast however I wish they would do full shows instead of the little bits. If you are going to stick with a compilation every day, it would be nice to have more than a half hours worth of content from a three hour show unless you're telling me that out of three hours, there is only a half hour worth listening to. The presentation would benefit from another choice for transition music between segments or lose it all together. You get into a cadence of listening to the talk and nice conversation then the transition music blows out an eardrum. I may be the only person who could potentially go deaf from listening to a talk radio podcast. :) I do prefer this over others because the hosts talks to his guests and lets them talk. It isn't a scream fest or display of obnoxious one upsmanship or pushing any specific agenda or narrative; unless that kind of fun can be found in the other 2.5 hours they don't put on the Podcast . I may just have to listen during the day. :) Keep up the good work and thank you
Best of the best of the best
Quality radio
No gimmicks
Fun to listen to
Great podcast snippets
What’s the point ?
It’s pretty much a waste to listen to a total of 38 minutes on a podcast from a 3 hour show.
