I don’t know how The Joe Rogan Experience was rated better than you, but this is undoubtedly the best podcast ever.
Sexism is alive and well! So English, so unlistenable haha
The Shroud of Turin- please discuss. Yours wishfully, DJS.
Great ‘pod’ BTW
The show has gotten better and better as the two hosts have learned how to dance with each other in conversation. My one tiny constructive suggestion, mostly to Dominic: there is this thing you do of dropping your voice for emphasis, almost to a whisper. It is very hard to hear clearly if the listener is in an environment with background noise- a gym, car, outside on a walk. Take pity on us and speak up! Unlike you, your listeners are not always in an acoustically ideal sound studio!
Thanks ... more
Are the hosts talking down to us? This show might be much better if they didn’t try to dumb it down and the attempts at foreign accents are pathetic.
