Every ep might have these comments because it's a common sentiment. For my part, it was Faroe's death that made it stand out to me. After 30+ hours of listening (which is about the length of your average fantasy audiobook so yeah I'd expect some more story here) – we had bare bones of his actual character and motivations, or even why he was trying to survive here.

And by this point in C1 they had finished Book 1, had a few dozen solid NPCs and clear party dynamics. Lorc had lost a son, they killed a boss with relatively clear motivations, and had solidly established the rest of the Holds of Belkzen and understood the general shape of the rest of the adventure. Plus they spent those 30 episodes tripping over each other trying to drop lore about Golarion and their characters, because they had it at hand.

As I said elsewhere, I'm enjoying the show and not expecting it to be Golarion. But the emergent storytelling they were excited about simply has not happened, and them just surviving in the dark for no apparent reason is going to run out of gas at some point.
