  • disappointing

    used to love this show long time listener but seriously 10 minutes worth of ads in a 30 minute podcast it’s so obvious they don’t care anymore. i feel like the questions they ask are so surface level and they never ask for follow up questions and overall i feel like things have changed as they don’t seem to care abt the show at all and just want to get it over w … i just want the show to get better bc the concept is rly cool just bad bad execution

  • Interesting show but

    The amount, type and length of ads included kill the tone completely. While I love that the show is being funded, having an otherwise profound or difficult topic like this show covers interrupted by 4 minutes of ads not once, but twice is kind of yucky and almost tone def, especially considering some of the sponsors. In a 40 minute episode with 8 min of ads, that’s 20% of the show. Kind of ridiculous.

  • superficial

    Great idea for a podcast but the hosts seem to not know what they’re going into. Would be nice to challenge whatever the guests‘ topic is with some scientific facts, concerns or deeper questions. This is lacking information and is imo actually deceiving and possibly promoting things for all the wrong reasons. Would not tune in again
