- Used to be great
Radio lab was my first podcast, I loved it growing up. having listened to the first episode in my uncles car headed out on a backpacking trip. It was truly captivating. I still like some of the episodes but 80% of episodes seem to be repeats I’ve already heard from years ago. Not sure if it’s funding issues or just nostalgia on the creators part but I value new interesting info which this show has not been consistent in providing for years now.

I’ve just joined plus here as the Lab is a dollar amount but the freedom of the press is a global issue. Would appreciate a UK Lab option.

Please help me understand why a member can’t listen to a particular episode because…
“This episode can’t be played on this phone”(or similar) 4yo phone, system updated, dues paid.”

I really wish I could enjoy this show because some of it is really fascinating, but it’s so liberal it’s just unlistenable.

Interesting titles when listeners tune in talk, talk, talk till the clock runs out. Captive fooling for advertisers numbers.
