Customer Reviews
Please stop frying.
Please, stop with this affection. It’s distracting and makes it appear that you’re too exhausted to finish a sentence.
Hard to understand
The topic is so fantastic but Baudelaire is so hard to understand. He drops his voice and we lose the meaning of what is being spoken. Please re-record Beaudelaire’s podcasts with someone who speaks slowly, enunciates and doesn’t drop his/ her voice.
Podcasts are radical!
Two is funnier than one. At least those dorky car guys had fun.
