- I like the LPOTL episode
It was nice to hear two men with rich and booming voices help cut the chatter and laughter of the uncharismatic female hosts.

Feels like I’m back in my “the culture and politics of taste” class at NYU - One of the best classes and one of the best podcasts there is in this niche and in general imo the hosts are very educated and dive into topics with as objective as you can be with media bias. It’s also both light and heavy and well researched but interesting. Love yall!!!

They frequently sound clueless about anything outside of their generational scope. It was hard to hear the claim that Elizabeth Holmes was of the same generation as Steve Jobs (in the episo... more
Apple Podcasts3MeggledyUnited States2 months ago - Garbage
This podcast is so chaotic, her laugh every other sentence and change of pitch makes my ears crawl. It jumps from one topic to another and makes no sense with how it flows. Don’t waste your time. Find a better put together professional podcast. This one is NOT it.
