Very real, and as a result, very rough. Some real gems in there sometimes though.
Never miss an episode. Long, long, long time listener. Important show. Now more than ever. Thanks to, & support WBAI too.
What’s with all the politics on this one? I can’t handle it anymore. I didn’t start listening to this show for political commentary and it’s gotten to be like 50% of the episodes. So here is a 1 star review. Do better. Start a different show for your politics.
Trump and .Elon train. Too political we want a tech show! Also…. Apologize for this below.
They are mad a judge ruled the cdc was not able to dictate masks. Boo hoo. Read the science on masks and also wear one 24/7 if you like but don’t force me when masks don’t help. Look at the data for Sweden and Florida compared to CA and NY.
Now lately, it’s boo-hoo Elon musk and Twitter are bad. How about you guys start talking about technology again instead of politics
I used to tune into OTH every week on shortwave. To listen to these jokers today (especially Emmanuel) it is incredible how fall they have fallen.
If you are looking for angry ranting about vaccines and republicans, you came to the right place. If you are looking for actual topical information seek it elsewhere. EG must be a very angry little man.
