Customer Reviews
Inspired, fun, informative
This is my absolute go-to podcast for enjoyable banter as well as thought provoking discussion. The four hosts are distanct in their opinions and expression, and the melange is aromatic and piquant. And it's side tracks like that that make this podcast a zingy must-listen.
Lost its punch
I’ve listened for years. It was a dense, intelligent and satisfying listen but in the new format it has devolved into a lighter, briefer and often disappointing experience. Too little analysis, too much pointless chat. I still listen because of the rarer occasions when they return to form and because I find Kevin particularly remains witty and very insightful and because I’ve grown fond of the four.
My go-to to find new podcasts and documentaries
I love all of them, especially Rebecca! Honestly, I’d be listening to the same musty podcasts without their recommendations.
