- Real Lack of Critical Thinking Skills
Interesting choices of topics but after listening to a few I have given up. The hosts had limited research on the topics and therefore, added nothing to the discussion. There are much better options out there, I wouldn’t waste time on this.

I love how you are adding in some of the societal issues. I was so glad to hear you include the racism and homophobia behind the hatred of disco. It’s so important to include this, and you do it well while making a comedic podcast.
