Very interesting.....

Who knew?? I found these podcasts to be very interesting and informative. It's refreshing to know that there are people out there who care enough to inform us of interesting facts that fuel our brains rather than the typical trash that floods us daily. Does anybody really care which celebrity went into rehab this week? This makes for much more interesting conversation around the "water cooler". Not to mention that it makes you sound smart :) Keep up the good work!

Overload

I don’t know if the guys read these or if it even makes it back to them anymore. I’ve been listening for 15 plus years at this point and now with the addition of short stuff and Selects it’s simply too much. I remember the old days when you looked forward to Tuesday and Thursday to see what the guys were going to talk about. Now it’s what, 5 episodes a week? I can’t keep up anymore. We all have so much digital clutter these days I just wish they would have a second feed for selects and short stuff so that the full episodes could stand a bit taller. Love the guys, love the show but it’s turned into too much of a good thing.
