  • Poor Research

    I have no doubt that this pod at one point was great and informative.

    However Sam rarely knows who has played who or the correct results, it feels phoned in and lazy.

    I’d suggest handing the pod off or shutting it down if the love isn’t there anymore.

    Sam, thanks for all your past years of hard work.
