Listener sentiment
Mile Higher remains deeply polarized, and the most recent reviews show no reversal of the downward trend flagged in prior months. Ad saturation is still the loudest complaint — listeners describe ad breaks every few minutes, sometimes with only a couple of minutes of actual content between them, and several longtime subscribers have walked away over it alone. Equally persistent is frustration with excessive off-topic banter; reviewers repeatedly report episodes spending 15 to 30 minutes on personal tangents before reaching the case, with some finding the hosts' joking tone insensitive given the serious subject matter. Host dynamics continue to divide: Kendall's interruptions and what some call a condescending attitude toward Josh, alongside the expanded cast (particularly Ian and Janelle), are a recurring source of friction, though a loyal contingent finds the group chemistry natural and entertaining. On the positive side, devoted fans still praise the wide-ranging topic selection, respectful treatment of victims, and Kendall and Josh's advocacy and charitable work. Political commentary perceived as left-leaning, heavy profanity, and inconsistent research quality are additional but more intermittent drivers of negative ratings. The overall picture is a show with a still-loyal core audience but eroding goodwill among its earliest listeners, who increasingly contrast Mile Higher unfavorably with the hosts' other show, Lights Out.
