  • Not very thoughtful

    I listened to two episodes, “darkest moments” and “biggest plot twists”. Both of these were kind of disappointing as the hosts did not seem to understand what they were discussing. On the list of “darkest moments” there was only 1 that should be considered dark. The one at the top of their list was simply a tragedy rather than a “dark” moment. This podcast feels rather thoughtless considering it is supposed to be about a world where words and their meanings matter tremendously.
