Love the pod…..but….

I love this podcast. I love the topics, Kyle and Adam’s banter and accents, the length of episode. The ONE thing that needs to go, is the AI photos used for the episodes. In a world where AI is using up water and taking work away from artists, I would hope two creative interesting people wouldn’t contribute to that. Do better! Hire real artists or find premade images online. No need for ai.

Fascinating and intriguing!

Love the wide range of topics that get covered and always in the most digestible, perfect amount of detail! There are so many things that I’ve learnt about which I’d never even heard of! They never fail to make me laugh and listening always makes my day!
