As a subscriber I’m incredibly frustrated to have a random bonus episode from Jay Shetty on my feed every week that I cannot get rid of. Agree with previous comment about quality going downhill when the show isn’t live and when Mark and Simon aren’t in the same room anymore. Audio quality has also gone down considerably, get better microphone setups, this is a fixable problem. I definitely prefer to listen to the BBC episodes on a loop instead. HTJI.
They lost something when they moved from being live to being a podcast. They lost a lot more when they stopped recording together in-person. Now the show feels stilted; the naturalism and energy has gone, replaced with weaker reviews, missed cues, and, oh, yet another payment tier.
Sad to say it, but I now prefer the episodes with guest critics more than the ones with Mark.
My feed is constantly spammed with a random show from iheart radio that I have zero interest in. I wish it would stop.
Which is a relief.
I wish whatever drives the podcasts would not try to suggest other, unrelated shows to me. Including, entertainingly, something by the Mayo clinic!
The show itself is, I assume, still great, but it clogs my feed on the weekly with episodes of shows I’ve never subscribed to so I’ve had to unfollow.
