A one-star review for wrong station that says: the host/narrator does too good of a job sounding like a complete jerk and scum. I’d not let my niece or nephews hear this sick voice and I’m sure he will laugh about that. Stay away.
A one-star review for wrong station that says: A few minutes in and the narrator has switched from past tense to present tense. This is supposed to be well written? Maybe the other episodes are better but I couldn’t get past it.

A 2-star review of Wrong Station that reads: Its got to be difficult to hold to a very high standard of quality year-in and year-out. And for years you guys pulled it off. Of late, I'm worried. The endless 10-year retrospective navel-gazing exercise foisted on listeners after months of a very loooong summer off was a big ask, and not what we came here for. Long breaks, lower-quality material, and excuses are bad signs. Thirteen and Ghost in the Burbs lost me this way, and I don't want that to happen at the Wrong Station too."
