The old hosts were sort of off the rails sometimes but sounded credible. The new format so far is just group think opinion commentary on things that AI companies say publicly. Off my playlist for now. Maybe it’ll improve as these reviews keep coming in.
Love the new host & format I’m back as a listener!
I can't believe this is the last podcast of Hard Fork. Kevin and Casey are so relevant and informative. How I'll miss them. Good bye, guys. I hope to find your new podcast.
Update--I don't like the new podcast. It's not the same, as interesting, and as fun as Kevin and Casey. Bring them back!!!
Not one of the new hosts seems to have any expert knowledge about the subject
Really wanted to love this after fav hosts departed but new hosts are sounding like a bunch of 13 year olds saying “LIKE LIKE LIKE”.
You’re at the New York Times! Do better. I could not make it through the infuriatingly distracting to listen to.
Terrible unprofessional vocal ticks.
Just speak slower so your brain can catch up please.
Not worthy of the masthead. A few likes are fine but not every sentence.
Decent content let down by lack of articulate speaking.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.
