  • Interesting content, but….

    Let me start by underlining that, generally speaking, I really like Wondery content. Good theatre of the mind. However, in spite of the good writing here (although a couple of clunkers stood out - using the term “row”

    in the last episode, after a whole series talking about their paddling the river [the two are not at all the same], and some pretty glaring grammatical errors), and the excellent production, the serious downside, for me, is the quality of the acting and narration. The acting is qui... more

  • Love the show, but the ads are a major turnoff

    I’m a longtime listener of Against the Odds — it’s one of my favorite podcasts, and I’ve recommended it to so many friends and family members over the years. The storytelling is gripping, the production is top-notch, and the range of stories never fails to keep me hooked. That’s why it’s so frustrating to hear repeated ads for Nick Cannon at Night during this show. He’s a deeply controversial figure whose misogynistic behavior is well-documented, and it’s baffling that Wondery would give him so ... more
