- No value add
More entertainment than information or journalism, but also isn’t entertaining.

United Statesa month ago - Unfollowed after irresponsible AI coverage
Extremely disappointed in the episode w Ed Zitron about the AI-apocalypse which basically regurgitates unfounded conspiracy theories. No one knows for sure what’s happening, don’t act like there are absolute truths. Had to unfollow after what I feel like is irresponsible reporting
Apple Podcasts1Cecele84United Statesa month ago - Experts in nothing
Pod has gone downhill over time, and no longer actually helpfully fills me in on anything.
Having Ed Zitron on to conspiracy-away the threats and potential of AI, while talking about the industry being a bunch of grifters might be the height of irony. That they’d have him on in the first place is kind of ridiculous.
Apple Podcasts1GvilleAlchemistUnited Statesa month ago - Garbage
Dont bother. Its absolute trash
Apple Podcasts1DeeGramUnited Statesa month ago - Not profound enough
How can you be a pop culture podcast and constantly dismiss pop culture as vapid and low brow? This show lacks analytical rigour
