Great host, great editing. Let down by the repeated intrusion of quackery into it. People talking about chiropractors, “energy workers”, craniosacral therapy, etc. Makes me immediately lose any investment in the person’s story, because I immediately know they’re a moron.
I love this podcast so much. The stories are absolutely fascinating. I listen to this every night and am even starting to have to re-listen to episodes.
I feel seen. This feels like a glimpse into what journalism SHOULD be.
I love this show! I just found it and am currently binging it. Unlike many shows where the hosts constantly interrupt good stories with their annoying comments, this show lets the guests fully tell their stories. The host only asks questions when necessary. I highly recommend it!
Honestly these stories are so boring I’ve been trying so hard to like it
