  • Good podcast, annoying marketing

    The hosts are great and the content is *usually* okay. My complaint is every day they push a “bonus” episode, which auto downloads, that is actually another podcast completely unrelated to Vegas. I’m sure they get money or something for it, but SUPER annoying.
