  • Audio

    I really enjoy the topics discussed, but I noticed in the recent episode on incels that the audio levels varied quite a bit between speakers. This made it a little difficult to listen at times, as the volume would sometimes be too soft and other times too loud, and I found myself constantly adjusting my earpiece volume throughout the episode. Thank you for the great content, and I hope this feedback helps!

  • Covid19 discussion between 2 scientific experts

    The latest Covid19 discussion was fantastic (and electrifying!). It’s almost like the mirage of a conservative Lawrence Wong debating a more liberal OYK, except these are the scientists. I learnt so much! The interviewer was very competent too. Pls do more of these- I wish we can hear more from scientific experts, not just the MTF, when it comes to Covid.

  • Great podcast

    I think the latest episode about second hand smoke was a episode I thoroughly enjoyed.

    It was fair, informative, covered both sides of the matter and had a good conclusion.

    Keep it up!
