jonquilyn hill, you do not need to over enunciate every hard syllable. Vox, please train your hosts to not sound irritating. It’s distracting from the good content.

United States2 months ago - I guess Vox’s whole brand is just explaining now?
I really loved The Weeds, and the substantive policy conversation that used to take place on this channel. This is now at least the 3rd “Explain” themed podcast Vox puts out, at the expense of deeper more complex content. This pod is fine for background listening, but I’d like to see more variety in Vox’s offerings, especially for those of us who gravitate towards deeper, wonkier conversations.
Apple Podcasts3sheelersUnited States2 months ago - Quality Freefall
Incredible how stark the contrast between EITM and its previous hosting lineup. Even down to the the structure, the ‘Bite Sized’ episode frontloads 7 full minutes of ads and hosts introducing each other before the episode. The content isn’t any more depth or perspective either, it listens like Wikipedia on easy english mode.
No rapport between hosts and guests; it sounds more like a company memo than a show for an audience looking to learn and connect with the host’s interests.

I gave this a try from Sean Illing’s podcast. These kids are adorable, but hard to take them seriously.
