Totally agree - it would be great if they told her to take a back seat on the pod.They are stuck with her now.
They can't give her the heave-ho because she has been with them since the start and it would seem disloyal.
And I can imagine how she would have a freak attack if they asked her to start talking a bit better- imagine how a wagon like her would react
Maura's mystery topic adds nothing to the podcast as does her cackling and inability to form a coherent sentence.
