- A bit Vapid
A vapid talk show about people who talk about famous people. I found it difficult to listen to late 30 or 40 something’s talk they were 15 or 16 year old girls. No insight into culture. Suzy often just agrees with everything her guest says, no thought or view of her own. This is cotton candy for the mind and will rot it like it would your teeth.

Apple Podcasts1palmspringeyUnited Statesa month ago - A pod about the origins of pods …ugh
Stumbled on this by accident looking for Bari Weiss. We’re at the point now where we listen to the tedious origin stories of influencers? I had to finally turn it off when hearing how prescient the guest was on NFTs. I only listened to 20 minutes but lost at least 10 IQ points.
