  • the paraquat episode was great, but paraquat is a herbicide, not a pesticide..This incorrect designation is important to correct.

  • Platform for idiots…

    Sarah Wilson babbling on over the importance of her word salads on Substack is enough to prove this.

    Do these people even listen to themselves?… obviously no one else does.

  • Too many ads

    Love the pod but 4 minutes of obnoxious ads is too much considering the average length of an episode. I’ve listened to this podcast for years now, as well as being a reader of their weekly publication but since the purchase of the podcast by Solstice, the ads are really getting out of hand with frequency and topic.
