Customer Reviews
Interesting content!
Interesting and enjoyable content. Audio levels, mixing is getting better as episode time goes on, thanks for working on that.
Boring
Could have been an excellent podcast, but both of the hosts come across as if they don’t know what they’re talking about. They sound like a pair of high schoolers fumbling through an oral presentation. It sounds like both of these guys have no ties to Milwaukee. The main host seems to be guessing. And you can’t tell if he is really that misinformed about the things he’s saying or he is just acting. So much misinformation. Avoid this podcast at all cost.
Enjoyable Listen
This is the type of podcast I enjoy. Lucky to have stumbled upon this one. Gavin is a great story teller and Eric keeps the conversation flowing. I'm a little late to get on this train (episode 20)...but will be subscribing. If you like history or story telling you will enjoy this podcast.
