“As with other listeners, I was astonished at how uninformed the hosts were about John le Carre, and put off by the overlapping dialogue and excessive use of the word “like.” The podcast has since gotten much better on the technical level (esp pacing), but there’s not much that can be done about the depth of knowledge problem, as evidenced by the recent episode on Hayao Miyazaki and its shallow banter about the beauty of his films. We listen to yet another lightweight conversation with “cool” millennials in lieu of an engaging discussion of the major themes HM grapples with or his resistance to digital animation or why his films matter (unlike eg Margaret Talbot’s 2005 profile, which gets a brief mention at the end). Ultimately this podcast seems to exist solely to attract new and younger and audiences to the magazine. One would think they could assume a smarter audience in the process.”
