You can safely skip the first 10 minutes of each episode which is full of requests for iTunes reviews, self-promotion, and self-aggrandizement. The interviews are great. I just wish the host would skip all the nonsense and get right to them. Put some ads in the middle, fine. But stop begging for...Read full review »
