Great content but painfully slow download speed. So slow sometimes I can't be bothered waiting. Why?

This is by far my favorite podcast. There is a terrific assortment of interesting topics that are explained in enjoyable fashion. Josh and Chuck share a camaraderie that is warm and inviting, and their senses of humor are often corny and remind me of my father. I recommend it to everyone young and old. 6 ⭐
