- Needs an editor
The reporting over all is pretty good, but I think the show really needs an editor. They have an editor for the writing on the website, to make things clear, cohesive and concise. I don’t understand why they don’t take the same level of care for the podcast.
I’m not saying it can’t be conversational. I listen to conversational podcasts, but they have an editor to clean things up to make the points clearer.

I’m sorry, but I can’t listen to a group of people that are this delusional. Please note that I’m a... more
