I hope you don't think Rush designs his own applications. He has a team of folks who do this for him. But he obvioulsy tolerates ineptitude, and it's something he should be ashamed of.

No I certainly can't imagine Rush designing anything really.
Rush obviously does not have good usability testers. The main reason I use his app is to listen to his show on-demand. I suspect a large fraction of his customer base does the same. The usability of his on-demand show playback is HORRIBLE, especially when you are driving in your car. Micro controls that you cannot hit with a finger tip. The scrubbing control doesn’t work unless you skip forward or backward more than 15 minutes. No auto-advance to the next episode. No skip-ahead 30 seconds button. No indication of the date of the episode you are playing.
It’s even far worse with Microsoft Sync in my Ford Expedition. That’s the worst software ever written by any company anywhere at any time.
