  • Discrepancy in Hosts

    Sal is wonderful, joyous, full of detailed stories. Tim is so flat in affect and lacking energy. He often just dismisses or is nonplussed by Sal’s points and then offers something unoriginal and says it multiple times using slightly different words. The info is awesome and I will listen just for Sal. Step it up, Tim!
