“Started out as a causal listener in 2003, became an addicted podcast listener in 2008. I’m currently 6 months behind in my saved podcast episodes and it saddens me to say that I don’t think I’m gonna keep listening.
“Nick” was the nucleus of the show. The cultural critic, the cynic, the “Lewis Black” with excellent storytelling skills. Josh was and still is the quick-witted cherry on top. Listening to “Nick’s” slow transformation from “Average Blue-Collar Joe” cynic to an “okay boomer” pink-haired, ____-studies major has been tough to listen to.
The show’s policy of staying away from political discussion is key to its appeal. But I’m not sure “Nick” understands that politics has moved beyond tax policy. It was the most bizarre and sad shift. It’s like one day “Nick” is astutely pointing out some absurdity and the next day it sounds like he’s being forced to read from a script. I think his “roommate” is to blame.”
