I love the intro and the enthusiasm, I just wish it wasn't directed to how crappy america is. How has being unpatriotic become the "cool kid" thing to do. Everyone hates this place, but yet nobody will leave. And spill in from the millions. Thanks for the consistent dose of politics. Thanks for showing how much most of the writer/artist we all adore hate a large majority of ther... more

  • Sometimes less is more

    There hosts seem like great people, but, and I know this is a weird critique in an audio medium: they need to shut up sometimes. They have some great creators come on their show and it feels like their interviews very frequently turn into an exercise in telling the creators what they think their work means.

    I don’t download and put on an interview with Grant Morrison to hear the podcasts hosts talk over Grant to speculate on what Grant really meant. You’ve got Morrison right there. Let your gue... more
