Hey guys, love your show! One piece of feedback I will give is that I'm not a big fan of the "daily" segments. Pretty much everything that features on the daily episodes is just rehashed content from the main show meaning it's sometimes the 2nd or 3rd time in hearing the exact same piece of audio. During the season, most of the sound clips get replayed on the main show anyway. My advice: focus on the main show and do away with the daily stuff, unless it's actually new content
