Really Want to Like This Podcast

I live in LA, am very interested in what is going on in the city and really want to like the podcast. However, the lack of editing kills this show for me. The first 20 to 30 minutes of the podcast consists of the hosts’ LA Stories, which, while occasionally interesting are way too long. The remaining hour includes at least 5 minutes of the hosts laughing at one another’s jokes. If the hosts tightened things up and posted episodes more regularly I would enjoy the show a lot more and consider contributing financially to it.
