To me it is anoying that Michael cannot go for 15 secs without being interrupted by Rohan. I can't help but thinking: why should I listen to someone that shows utter disregard for yhe opinions of others. Congratulations Michael on handling the contant interruptions with bullet proof patience.
Ad a returning listener, the amount of ads is ridiculous and they are annoying. "Hi, my name is Karen, go listen to my stupid podcast about stupid girly stuff" in the most obnoxious voice. Sorry if this sounds sexist, but know your audience, please! PS: Rohan is the best!
