- Really annoying false energy applied to almost every word they say.
It’s actually really difficult to listen to because the tones and false energy applied to each sentence in word is really tough to ignore. One of the presenters puts massive pauses in the middle of a sentences seemingly for dramatic reasons. It almost sounds like they were talking to voice software or a child.

Listened to the most recent episode and I feel like they nerd out on the facts without getting into the deeper meaning of what abramohvic warped and what it meant for others. Listen if you want to hear them basically read a news article without offering anything substantial. Listened to a couple others in the past and it’s ‘meh’
