Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 434 ratings
  • Mostly assertions with few concrete examples

    Despite the long biography, the ep. Greatest Lie Ever Told was comprised primarily of broad assertions without specific examples that would have helped anchor the discussion. One example that was given, that troublemakers added subsaharan data to 23andMe, based on my own research, turned out to be an unsupported debunked hoax. I guess Elon was wrong about this pod, unless you are into confirmation bias.
