    Thank you for the boring stories but a lot of them actually keep me awake because they’re so interesting.

    I think you should do a series on Cults.

  • So close, but not

    This would be the perfect podcast for me- one I would even pay for- except the loud, annoying ads wake me up, thereby defeating the purpose of the podcast. Such a bummer.

  • AI garbage, EXPLOSIVE ads

    This podcast is contributing to actual planetary destruction. That’s what AI is doing. Adding insult to injury, the ads ERUPT out of this AI trash, in an obnoxious scream for consumption. Auditory violence.
