My kingdom never to hear a first internet memory again, and occasionally some of the guest picks are astoundingly lacking in self-awareness (whoever the “well MY husband brags about me” pick-me on a recent ep was seemed so oblivious I had to switch off for my own sanity) but the show has massively improved since Kate Lindsay took over and it’s generally a solid listen with some good insights into online discourse.
Jump scare EVERY episode ending. It’s always just over. Sometimes I feel like the wrap up cuts off the last speaker 😂Seriously love the show, though.
Leaving this five star review required me to download the Apple podcast app and at first I bailed on the whole enterprise when I realized that but then I remembered the exact episode id just listened to and persevered thru inconvenience lol I like yalls content
I deleted all my social media a year ago to let my mind breathe, but I do miss the gossip of the online world. This show is a great way to know what’s up without getting sucked into it. The hosts are smart, funny, and show a lot of compassion, even to the wildest weirdos who are currently enjoying their 15 minutes of internet fame.
Alright, I honestly cannot stand the amount of times the word "like" is said in every episode. It makes it unlistenable. Just listened to today's episode and it was said 4 times in one sentence. It's just beyond annoying. That combined the weird topics sometimes that made me stop listening now.
