United Statesa month ago - I love this podcast, but …
It’s played in What Next? also, so I decided to unsubscribe, so I wouldn’t have the same episode show up on my feed. Lizzie O’Leary is awesome. I used to enjoy hearing her in Marketplace. I’m happy to here her again
Apple Podcasts5semipenguinUnited States4 months ago - Shallow summaries of tech issues filled with ads
There is a huge demand for deep dive podcasts into the hot topic tech issues like AI and the Metaverse etc. This podcasts taps exactly into that but fails miserably. After summarizing an issue, which basically takes the entire episode because of all the ads (funded by the same companies they critique i.e. Apple), they end each episode with a “ok so what does this all mean?” segment. Except this segment lasts 30 sec followed by more ads and then the podcast ends. more
Apple Podcasts1Samd199United States4 months ago - OMG… now I realize why trump will get re-elected
Generally enjoy the show, but just listened to
Apple Podcasts2bluebill987United States4 months ago - Ugh. Inarticulate guests
Hard to take the content seriously when guests say “like” every third word and just generally speak like middle-schoolers or sorority chicks. Cannot tell you how often I’ve stopped listening less than halfway through an episode. It’s grating. more
