What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Just started listening to this new podcast…subject matter right up my alley. However, the heavy and at times distracting background score is making it very hard to concentrate on the actual content. Quality material doesn’t require additional props to engage listeners. Let the story dominate and not compete with a racy soundtrack. Sometimes, less is more Mr Ryan… :)

Should be required every year of school from at least middle school through college. Very well done. Very balanced politically.
