I don’t even know anymore
Man this has been a whirlwind of a podcast for me. Originally (a couple years ago) I remember stumbling on it, disliking it based off the long opening of just what seemed like just dronning on and on without even getting on a topic after X amount of time. Then I stumbled on it again(after forgetting the original listening experience) and picking an episode that I really enjoyed. And really liking it. Binging on it then rediscovering my review, and feeling embarrassed. Now fast forward a couple years and I’m really torn on where I sit with the podcast. Scott and Forest do some really phenomenal research. But over the last year the off topic bantering has become ridiculous, and I notice how there There seems to be a lot of repitition. I think one episode I honestly had to double check because I thought I accidentally rewound it, but nope. So I’d love to see it edited down a bit, or maybe an do an outline? Maybe they do but they roll off of it? Like the recaps in the episodes of earlier topics in the same episode, are not needed. It’s also is tough because most topics are presented in two to three parts, each at least an hour and a half long, sometimes 3. It’s produced biweekly so if it’s a topic I’m not to into and can’t get into, it could end up being a month and a half of zero content. And It’s tough for me to dive into a topic I’m not into, where there’s 45 mins of bantering before we even Get into the topic I don’t have a huge interest in anyway. I do try, but quickly loose interest, Especially on top of the bantering, repetition, and just trailing off. The last episode I was really digging into, which was of Frederick Valentich, which was back in January of 2020. There are a lot of good episodes and great info. But lately it’s just been off for me. Maybe I used to be able to pick and choose which ones I want to listen to. Take care and good luck!

I was cruizing the iTunes store for something engaging when I found this. I listen to my iPod when I'm outside gardening. This stuff is laugh-out-loud funny and incredibly interesting. They are like the Click and Clack of Esoterica. I am amused, entertained, informed, horrified, and intrigued...Read full review »
