  • Garbage Host

    Uninformed host doesn’t research his guests and then asks stupid questions during interviews.

    Also, he’s a fascist sympathizer.

  • An Unfortunate Turn

    This podcast's recent turn into controversial political, health, and other non-climbing topics is regrettable.

    Much like Joe Rogan, Steven's confirmation bias is on full display. He is skeptical of the scientific consensus on a topic, finds a guest that agrees with him, and then has a conversation that reinforces this view.

    For unbiased, well-researched content on these topics, go elsewhere. For example, the podcast "Science Vs" did great episodes on both fluoride and seed oils.
