  • Make an effort though

    I like this podcast a lot. I don't know why it's so hard for Slate podcasters to properly pronounce names. Like Hasan Minhaj. This is just one example. Make an effort, Slate - it's 2025. Also in the episode about Minhaj, the show got some major facts completely wrong.

  • TBD has so much potential

    I am confused because TBD frames their episodes like deep dives into current tech issues but turns out to be less than 20 mins of surface level reporting when you count in the enormous amount of ads they play (seriously?! Ads at the start and then again right after the intro??) Their stuff on AI for example basically summarizes what NYT and others already report on without adding anything new.

    If they framed this podcast as a brief morning report type show i wouldnt be upset.

    Otherwise i ... more

  • What Next is solid - ICYMI needs new hosts

    Solid podcast concepts but ICYMI needs to be split off into its own feed so that I can ignore it completely. The self-absorbed hosts reading their copy is insufferable.

  • Yawn

    Another self-congratulatory circle jerk which claims to speak for “all of Twitter” while attacking the usual suspects.

    This week’s panto villain was Jordon Petersen who lived the cliche by doubling down etc.

    The presenters mocked him so we don’t have to which saved me some time. I’m now going to save even more time by deleting the podcast.

    Dull.
