Well intentioned but rambling

I love the spirit behind this podcast! The titles of the episodes make me say “oh, that sounds like something helpful!” But when I listen to the episode it seems like the hosts just ramble on about themselves. The two part “how to catch a cheater” was two hours of four women telling stories of men who cheated on them with just a couple of tips for how to spot red flags or evidence of cheating. A “mini” episode about how to make a good dating profile was 1 hour and 6 minutes of the host and her boyfriend talking about their relationship with a couple of notes about “branding” yourself. A valiant effort to help women in the dating scene, but tighten it up! Edit out all the personal stuff and make it focused on your audience instead of yourself!
