Customer Reviews
My new favorite podcast!
Hard hitting and brainy yet hilariously entertaining! It has become my favorite podcast!
Stop with the obnoxious speed talking finish
This podcast is good and funny and creative- Thanks!
But why detract mightily with the obnoxious and totally unnecessary “speed talking” at the end of EVERY episode? Please stop. Talk at a normal human pace, summarize, or leave it out.
People who have already heard it can just ignore or switch to something different-it does not “save time” for them. And yes I can switch off but until I can rush to bit stop or off I have to hear this horror.
People who have never heard it and want the info can’t understand the babbling anyway and will have to repeat or slow it down. Put the info in the episode notes.
Why do you do this?
