  • great show

    I'm so glad to hear more episodes with both Amory and Ben - their cohost chemistry really makes the show for me, even/especially when they're just bringing each other interesting Reddit threads to discuss. Scrolling through these comments, it's wild to see so many complaints about the politics from both right *and* left wing listeners. If so many are sure they're seeing the opposite bias, I think it says more about the political climate than the show.

  • Check your sponsors

    Get rid of the Is Business Broken podcast, especially when they’re platforming the people that make life extremely unaffordable for the people in “flyover country.” Friggin coastal elites…

  • Just not that interesting.

    Feel like a lot of recent episodes have gotten away fr any internet culture or technology angle and just rehashing (without any nuance) culture wars issues or dunking on whatever’s on R/all
