  • Two Months of Repeats!

    I have listened to all 310 episodes. Except the repeats. The constant repeats without a clear warning that it is a repeat suggests a strong lack of conservation for your audience.

  • Largely Written by AI

    I’m so tired of every podcast starting to sound the same: that ChatGPT cadence of three points, then a “not just this but that” and then a metaphor that has never been used before doesn’t really work. I’m afraid it grates on me so much that it’s making it hard to continue listening. Which is a shame, because the stories are really good.
