New episodes usually good, repeats not always marked

I like this show but find it extremely frustrating that they obfuscate whether an episode it a repeat or not. Sometime don’t realize it until 10 minutes in.

Life changing

So sad Guy is retiring from this show but also happy it continues with a new host.

Great

A good podcast, but has no cats as guests. Please have at least one. Even if it’s the cat’s owner is the one talking. Just have them bring their cat to the studio. This is very important for me.
