this podcast is great, one of my favorites. dark, audio footage from real interviews, court hearings, body cams. it's great. the app, SUCKSSSSSSS. Episodes will randomly stop, it will log you out for no reason, if a phone call comes in, the episodes will keep playing silently, leaving you to figure out where you left off. I understand losing money to people sharing a private rss, but I'd much rather listen in my preferred app.

The content is great! I love sword and scale and Mike is an amazing story teller. App specific: the sleep timer glitches(?) if you tap multiple times to select a different length of time, it will just stop the episode seemingly randomly after that. I'd love to be and to open the app and get to the last episode I was listening to. Currently, there's just a play button and it'll play whatever is latest if you click it. Having better access to player should be nice and help with continuity.

like everyone else: this app constantly logs out, which is a major pain when you're a car listener; it doesn't save where you left of in an episode; and it randomly won't play over basic Bluetooth speakers. I get that it's tough to design your own app, but the first app was just fine -- at least it was functional. I'm going to unsubscribe at this point, as much as I love the content.
