  • Excessive Ads

    Ads are too distracting. Interesting start to a well told story. Unfortunately had to stop listening, too aggravating.

  • Where’s the plot?

    I kept expecting something to happen but three episodes in and it’s just siblings narrating their sad but unremarkable life stories.

  • A whole lot of nothing

    After five episodes, this feels like a waste of time. Each episode is full of repetitive anecdotes about Larry from friends and relatives, that goes nowhere. You keep waiting for it to build toward something worthwhile, but it never does. Overall, it’s a whole lot of nothing.

  • I Really like the story, but too many commercials

    The only reason why I’m giving this a three star review is because about half of the podcast is commercials, and the episodes are less than 30-40 minutes total, so really you’re only getting 20+ minutes of the story. It’s a really great story, though I just wish that there was more content and less commercials.
