  • Witty, intelligent and thoughtful

    I’m really enjoying the discourse. There are a lot of insightful connections and details they point out that I have never noticed or heard/read anywhere else.

  • Overly nitpicky

    The hosts like to state all the piddling things that “annoy” them. You know what annoys me? These awful hosts who find problems where there is none. There is a fine line between a deep dive and just nitpicking for the sake of it.

  • Entertaining!

    I enjoy this podcast quite a bit and the hosts’ balance of intelligent analysis, wittiness and as well as some more casual ‘takes’ on things.
