  • Good show mostly

    This is a good show but ranting about hearing from your listeners gets old fast. “Please write in to tell me about this thing so in two episodes I can rant about how annoying it is to hear from people!” It makes a good show almost unlistenable

All simply to not be in my apartment ... more
