Went from mediocre to just awful
The new format is terrible. The writing is inaccurate and childish. The show tries to be hip by talking about topics completely outside their lane. Armchair science at its worst. Also, the injection of politics into science is completely inappropriate, especially when the politics is so amateurish and out of touch. But what finally made me delete the feed was just how racist it has become. The episode on the Thai music composer was the epitome. Instead of introducing a form of music that most people weren’t exposed to and delving into it, the host for some reason kept making racist comments and stereotypes about the current musical landscape. On and on. I really wonder how the artist “featured” felt about having the episode about them turned into a self-indulgent racist diatribe. I know I would be peeved if it happened to me.
