Keeps up to date

They keep up to date with relevant facts about the series. It isn’t easy with how little content Amazon puts out.

I really wanted to like it

This podcast is interesting but I can't listen to it. The audio on all three episodes I've tried to listen through is awful and after letting us know that the first episode was bad then promising it would get better from there it got worse. The one host is so clear and loud that it blows my eardrums out every time he starts talking when I've turned the volume up loud enough to hear the post who is crackly garbled and quiet.
