Australiaa month ago - Love the pod…..but….
I love this podcast. I love the topics, Kyle and Adam’s banter and accents, the length of episode. The ONE thing that needs to go, is the AI photos used for the episodes. In a world where AI is using up water and taking work away from artists, I would hope two creative interesting people wouldn’t contribute to that. Do better! Hire real artists or find premade images online. No need for ai.

United States2 months ago - Jemaine Clement? Is that you?
These guys know what they’re doing! They’re hilarious and insightful, and tell the greatest most interesting stories from history. Also, who knew Jemaine Clement had a side gig as a podcaster. (Here’s looking at you “Adam”.)
Apple Podcasts5veggiemeggUnited States2 months ago - Five Stars!
Yo! I started listening a while ago and left you this very standard review: “a clever, witty and genuinely fun podcast. Highly recommend!” . Still mean that but Just wanted to add as a former resident of the UK and then NY and now elsewhere in US. Really appreciate your take, perspective and overarching sense of humor. Hope you keep it up and hold it down MFs.
