Nice informative content
Well presented
I love it!
One of my favorite podcast ✨🙌
ads ruin the experience
this is one of the best podcasts out there, but unfortunately i have to unfollow and unsubscribe due to how awful and disruptive the ads are. i like to listen to podcasts as i drift off to sleep and SYSK used to at least have shorter, tolerable ads. nowadays, there are more, they’re super obnoxious and loud, and iheartradio doesn’t give you even a paid option to support the show ad-free. i’ll listen to this on youtube with community-sourced ad-blocking going forward.
thanks, ihurtradio!
