  • Great Pod, Less Malaika

    Malaika is a real weak spot in this podcast. I enjoy her articles, but her tendency to interrupt and ramble makes her a poor podcast guest.

  • Love the Podcast—But Let’s Talk Backes & Strauss

    Hey Hodinkee Team,

    Huge fan of the podcast—it’s the perfect mix of deep horology and great storytelling. But can we get some tea on Backes & Strauss? They’ve got the world’s oldest diamond company cred, ties to Franck Muller, and some wild designs—what’s their real place in modern watchmaking?

    Keep up the great work!

  • Now unlistenable

    I’ve listened to the podcast from the beginning, but Malaika’s interruptions of other hosts and content are horrible.

  • I’m trying - I am

    I’m really trying hard to like this podcast because the subject really interests me. But the woman with the overly-affected, drawn out vocal fry just makes it impossible to take this show seriously. It’s like the coffee shop scene in Loudermilk.
