Customer Reviews
John Harris is insufferable
I don’t disagree with his sentiment, but if I have to hear John Harris say “so-called cost-of-living crisis…but it’s really a social emergency” one more time, I will lose my mind. STOP TRYING TO MAKE FETCH HAPPEN!!!
my review
i like this show a lot
Awful
My experience with this podcast left much to be desired, as it failed to deliver the necessary elements for an engaging and memorable listening journey. Unfortunately, the hosts' monotonous delivery hindered the potential for a captivating experience. Moreover, the podcast's production quality was subpar, resulting in distractions and detracting from the overall enjoyment. The lack of structure and excessively long episodes further contributed to a lackluster and forgettable experience. Additionally, the guest selection failed to impress, missing the opportunity to bring fresh insights and perspectives to the table. In today's vast array of exceptional podcasts, this particular offering fell short of meeting even the most basic standards of quality and entertainment. I encourage exploring alternative options that showcase engaging hosts, well-produced episodes, and thought-provoking content to ensure a truly fulfilling podcast listening experience.
