  • Schlechte Tonqualität und mehr

    Die Mikrofonierung ist schlechter als die meiner privaten Kinderhörspiele, die ich als 8-Jähriger angefertigt habe. Der jüngere Moderator ist für mich so toxisch, wie es nur geht. »Da hatte ich Tränen in den Augen!«, »Den Song fand ich nicht gut.« Es geht immer nur um ihn. Seine Fachkenntnis ist nicht vorhanden, von seinen ESC-Voraussagen stimmte rein gar nichts. Man sieht: unabhängig von der Orientierung kann man auch so männlich-toxisch sein.

  • Dissapointing

    I thought at first they were a reputable podcast but when I recently provided constructive feedback- polite and friendly- they refused to publish it on their site. Yet when I post a glowing compliment about a podcast or article it is published straight away

  • Lighten up

    Takes the contest way too seriously, and I’m writing this as a super fan. Too analytical and serious. Zero fact checking done on anything guests say.
