  • I’ve lost all trust. Dumb or dumber?

    I’m pretty sure this podcast is completely AI. They said an asteroid is named the same name as a president. However that is so incorrect. Either you’re super dumb or you’re intentionally trying to bring political beliefs into your message. Either way, I don’t trust you at this point.

  • Used to be Better

    The content itself is fun/educational, and it’s nice to stay up to date on non-depressing news. However, the hosts come across as AI trying to read in a human voice/inflection. Many times there are mispronunciations of fairly common words, and some phrases are repeated right after they were said. It gets a little old to hear semi-academic content from hosts who seem to have little to no academic knowledge.

  • Keep looking

    The original show was great - the new hosts are awful. The banter is idiotic and they are really “not an expert” about ANYTHING. Some of the comments they make about stories make me wonder what they are actually schooled in. It’s not math, history or anything to do with ANY science. I really wanted to like this show.
