  • If you want to know how not to make a podcast

    Weary repetition. Idle speculation with few discernible facts spread across way to many episodes. Poor quality piece

  • Dissappointing

    Pretty much a repetition of the ‘facts’ told by various people. No substance, no conclusion, and no information that you couldn’t get by just reading the Wikipedia entry. Don’t waste your time listening.

  • Don’t waste your time.

    Very poor podcast to much music being played alongside the same repetitive information.

  • Poor Analysis

    As others have said, a patchwork of news snippets, constant repetition and no analysis. Nothing new and ultimately, rather pointless.
