I generally like the episodes but find both the hosts and their guests use the word “like” way too often in their sentences to the point that it distracts what they are articulating. I wish they could tone it down.
You guys don’t know what you want to say. Are these recorded live? Put some thought into it, make coherent statements.
speak on it!! it’s nice to listen to rational people break down some of these insane trends. also i feel like y’all are getting review bombed for some reason
Interesting topic, personable host, but the episodes are hard to listen to because of how many ads there are in relation to how long the actual discussion is. I think this podcast concept would have a better shot on a network like Vox or NyMag.
Tuning in a lot more these days. Love this new version of ICYMI ❤️

A recurring strength is connecting industry trends to everyday online behavior, with guests ranging from journalists and editors to creators and subject-matter experts. Notable since the show's relaunch is a more measured, research-informed approach, paired with candid storytelling and timely takes on how platforms, algorithms, and sponsorship shape online discourse. This mix makes it useful for listeners w... more
