    It’s odd to listen first 20 minutes, where you are picking a topic and both don’t know basic specs of the product, why even bother

      As the saying goes – you get what you pay for! Maybe choose a more expensive podcast next time?

    I listen to Amphour for the deep knowledge of the topics they’re discussing.

    Regarding Twitter vs Facebook vs TikTok vs etc…Obivously Onlyfans.

    China’s “first attempt”…. like Russia’s “first attempts”.
