Customer Reviews
Great podcast
Really like the recommendations.
Matthew is much better than Noah.
Love the Podcast
I am really enjoying the new recommendations feature of the show. It definitely adds value to a podcast I already love.
Today John mentioned in passing the movies Locke and Enough Said, two favorites of mine that deserve a wider audience. So nice to hear!
I hope you can keep up the pace, but even if it goes to a weekly feature rather than a daily one, it’s a winner.
Love the podcast
Not sure I understand the new Commentary recommends. Christine gives a wonderful recommendation of the novel “The Suitcase” and it becomes a John recommendation for a movie he likes. Why step all over Christine’s recommendation?
