Customer Reviews
Good content but super annoying sound design
All the random ringing and beep boops are distracting, stopped the latest episode midway through
Well hosted and produced but unbalanced
I love the way this podcasts dives deep into stories about our world today. They’re comedic and lighthearted approach to current events makes staying informed interesting and not as heavy as some other podcasts. But nowadays I can no longer excuse how biased some of the perspectives are and how some of the journalists make jabs at certain subjects and demographics because they don’t fit into a woke mold. As a millennial who’s politics used to lean left I’m desperately searching for news sources that break me out my own side’s echo chamber and compassionately expose me to other’s perspectives. I feel like that’s true diversity but I’m not really getting it from this news source.
Biased reporting
Unbelievably biased reporting and analysis. Pure echo chamber, anti-intellectual drivel.
