  • Woke “etiquette”

    Fortunately, the research on the history of each subject is well done (thanks Alex). It is often interesting to hear how certain customs in our culture came to be. However, the actual “etiquette” part is surface-level to the extreme at its best, and at its worst, it only applies to woke circles.

    For example: In “Nicknames”, Travis asserts that you never, ever have to justify to anyone the reason you go by a certain chosen name. This is just bad advice for the real world, and relies on a relativ... more

  • Worst Mcelroy Pod

    Irritating and uninformative, to keep it concise. One of the hosts has an "assistant" just summarize wikipedia articles, and often will misinterpret or misinform about very simple history, while the other rambles about whatever thought enters his brain at any given time regardless of its relevance. Often talking over or interrupting the topical information.

    Also has NOTHING TO DO WITH ETIQUETTE. EVER. Which is ostensibly the selling point of the pod. Awful product and it astounds me its still ... more

  • Relaxing Escape!

    I started listening during my maternity leave, and found their voices, banter, and subject manner, very soothing as I stayed up late until the night nursing my newborn daughter. I love it when Travis lands a joke and Teresa laughs! I also find the information the right level of intellectual where I get to learn a little something, but it’s not so heavy I can’t follow it without undivided attention. Perfect for exhausted brain 😃
