  • Too slow

    Nothing against the subject matter but this a very drawn out podcast. An hourlong subject will be fronted by twenty minutes or more of really slow, dry, ephemera. My suggestion for the presenters is to work on speeding up the banter or at least making it more personal, and not front loading all the administrative stuff like sponsors.

  • Focus on the topic!

    The episodes I've listened to cover very little about WH in comparison to long, drawn out conversations about nothing related to the hobby.

  • I’m out

    Been listening to the pod since it started but I’m calling it a day. Wyatt has become a hard hang to listen too. Between the would you rather and him not choosing to listen to peoples opinions and overall stubbornness on his own opinions when the facts he uses are incorrect has become grinding. Best of luck to the guys with the show going forward. It’s been a wild ride
