Good stuff but…

Driveway Moment

Please stop the “Vocal Fry”, the “Upspeak” and the repetitive use of the word “like” that are so often used by presenters. It makes them sound like high school teenagers. Especially the younger presenters. It’s ok to make a declarative statement sometimes. Presenters would benefit from paying attention to how professional NPR newscasters speak.
Some great information!

But so many ads. The ratio of ad to content is got to be close to 1:1. Be prepared to hit the FF 30 seconds button A LOT!
Leftist junk with lots of ads

I used to love this podcast until it started getting boring due to leftist policies and issues they discuss in each episode that included way too many ads.
Job well done!

Big fan of this podcast. It covers a variety of topics and isn’t a 2 hour listen. Very concise but also a very easy listen. 10/10!
