Troubled Waters Listener Survey

We launched Troubled Waters in February as a reboot of its predecessor, International Waters. On IW, the teams were split based on nationality: American comics vs. British comics. We've moved away from that premise with Troubled Waters, and are looking for feedback on this latest version so we can improve upon it and give listeners what they want.
