    Trigger Warning
    Really? Isn’t the point of going to the theatre to get triggered?

    Unhyped stories = great addition
    I kept forgetting this podcast even existed until I sat down to solitary dinner having listened to all the recent Slate Plus podcasts & there it was in my podcast app. I found this coverage of the week a welcome breath of NEW despite subscribing & supporting 10 or more news sources (from which I read mostly just headlines because it’s all so very depressing) which all seem to trumpet the same stories. I’ll try to remember to listen in next week & maybe backtrack to see what I’ve missed.

    Rounding out
    I like finding these smaller items that have slipped through. Great addition to my news list

    Abdul…..
    Love Olly and most of the regular guests but can’t stand Abdul. I usually find him annoying but he was particularly obnoxious is the last episode.

    Bad engineering
    Great content. Bad engineering, volume levels are all over the place. Hard to follow sometimes because you have to have your finger on the volume control.

    Somethings up
    Oddly today’s episode didn’t play instead it played the next podcast lined up on my list. Help!

    Olly is fat phobic
    He is also pompous and condescending to the younger reporters. He is out of touch and I can’t listen anymore. Learn about humility and grace, Olly.

    On Abortion
    Pro-choice. Choose Life. Abortion equals murder. Imagine if your mother decided to murder you. You wouldn’t be reading this.... There is support for mothers after the baby’s birth. Don’t lie.

    Love this host and the journalists, too
    Olly asks the questions that come to my mind. They do a great job explaining the backstory for current events.

    Nice media alternative
    The modern news media has become as formulaic as cinema and television. It’s nice to hear about stories overlooked by corporate media behemoths, and the discussion is entertaining.

    Ignorant
    My jaw literally fell to the floor listening to this drivel. The discourse on most topics left little to be desired. The biggest shock was one of the female hosts categorically stating that any man accused of rape deserves to die. Wow.

    Not so great
    The topics are interesting but the hosts conversations are boring and they don’t seem very intelligent. The two female hosts are also very condescending which I don’t like.

    A great way to say up on the news without boring you to sleep
  • El Illumino
