  • Crappy hosts make crappy podcast

    Came to listen to Tamsyn Muir. Listened to two idiot menchildren talk over her. They are the worst of the nerd lunch table, the ones who think and tell you they are cool. That’s an hour I will never get back. Tamsyn was cool, but we really didn’t get to hear her.

  • Not good

    You can really tell this is the product of an MFA program and whooo boy I really don’t mean that in a good way. The American one really seems to think he’s smarter than he is and Christ it’s deeply embarrassing. I recommend reading the other negative comments because I think it’s they do a good job of getting to the core of why this is a bad, frankly embarrassing podcast.

  • My brain is so full now

    This podcast is its own unique thing. I finish every episode with a full sheet of notes filled with things I need to go research. I don’t get these kinds of discussions and recommendations in my day to day, so this podcast is always an immense source of catharsis for me.

    Thank you for everything.

    Also, Langdon is a treasure.
