  • Startling Ad Volume

    The ad in the middle of the show is *startlingly loud* because volume is turned up to hear the show clearly. Can we please move the ad to start or finish and not smack dab in the middle? Startles tf out of me every time! 😅

  • Needs a change

    New ads during the middle of the episodes has forced me to stop listening. Beginning or end in fine, not bluntly in the middle.

  • Love the shoes

    If the show was taped recorded in the 1940s or earlier…I kid you not - the audio is unlistenable. Too scratchy or quiet or both. Other than that no complaints
