Could be better

“I listen to this podcast regularly, although not every week. The hosts have the best of intentions and I think it’s important that this podcast exists. However it has a lot of issues and I often find myself skipping episodes or just nopeing out of an episode partway though.
1. Audio quality is not great. It’s listenable, but poor, and you’d think with all the Patreon money and ads they would be able to fix this. Guest episodes can be particularly awful, which is a real shame.
2. They run ads from the same five or so people constantly and it’s a bit strange (including having the exact same TWSC pre-roll ad on every episode).
3. The issue of Ode. There are plenty of reviews already noting that Ode talks over everyone else, which hasn’t changed, so I won’t re-hash that. The other problem is that Ode doesn’t know nearly as much as they think they do. They still talk and act very much like a teenager despite (I think?) being well older than that, and it makes their misinformed “well ACTUALLY” type interruptions that much more annoying. Gwen gets steamrolled by Ode constantly, which is infuriating, because 90% of the time it’s just to repeat exactly what Gwen has already said, or was trying to say before Ode interrupted. When I rage-quit an episode it’s usually because of them.
4. Some of the show’s content is too fluffy for my taste. I won’t go into much detail there because I’m aware that’s only my personal preference. I just wish they were a little more skeptical about some things.
5. The current segments are not altogether useful or interesting in my opinion. It feels like they just do them because they’ve always done them. The more recent ancestor-based segment is better, but the others can go. The shouting/singing intros can also go, please.
Now that I’ve dunked on them for a few paragraphs, here are a few positives that keep me listening despite all that.
1. They have guests at an appropriate frequency and always treat them well. Usually guests on podcasts are an “eyeroll-and-skip” situation for me, but not on this one.
2. I greatly appreciate that the 3 major pagan paths are represented here and comparing/contrasting insights are regularly provided.
3. Carr’s role as the question-asker is a great vehicle for digging deeper into topics, especially when there are guests. He’s pretty good at it and it helps make up for his lack of experience as a druid.
4. I appreciate that they focus in on individual topics that don’t always get a lot of attention in the usual pagan books or media. They don’t always have enough expertise or organization to do them full justice, but when they hit a topic well, it really works and I have better learned these topics because of it.
TLDR: This podcast needs help. It could and should be so much better and I really hope that it gets there. But for now it’s only good when it’s not actively infuriating.”

“I love to listen to these three and their various perspectives. They are people I’d happily have over for tea. Great audio, great discourse, great information. I’m solitary, which is hard sometimes, but listening to 3PAC makes me feel part of the greater community.”
