  • I can’t listen anymore

    I have LOVED this podcast for a long time. Super informative interviews with fascinating experts. But ever since April Parms started hosting, I just literally cannot listen anymore. She talks like a ditzy 12-year-old girl, she offers no interesting commentary, and she has the vocabulary of a small child.

I keep checking back in and being so temp... more
