Need to fix Podcast feed
Update: it seems like the issues I described have been improved. Thank you!
I love Radio West, It’s very well produced and engaging. However, this podcast feed has some issues. The episodes appear and disappear at random. I save them to my feed and then they get taken off. PLEASE fix these issues! I know the episodes are on their website, but it’s much more convenient to have them on Apple podcasts.
Ever episode
Overrated !!!
The host tends to try to lead up to asking the person a question by telling them what it is he wants them to answer in so much detail and then answers the question before he lets the person have a chance to speak. Also, then continues on to say “talk about it.”
He says, “talk about it”so many times it is irritating!
I have listened to this podcast over many year but can no long.
No longer a suscriber.
Mindful
Such a deep and great thinker!!!
