Ok I like this show and the hosts beside one thing about them.They shove there opinions in every sentence and it’s very very annoying!Also there are too many adds,now I understand that they get money,and that’s great but please cut down the adds!But beside that these people are great hosts,and this podcasts topics are amazing.So this is a good show overall keep up the good work (:
Annoying hosts
The premise is great, but these are two of the most annoying women I've ever heard. Please dump the current hosts and I'll start downloading on a regular basis.
Great Topics, Terrible Hosts.
This podcast is just like listening to a sorority girl and her jock friend flirt and stumble through quasi-history lessons and trying to compel more people to traffic their site...Actually, it's just like that.
