“I’m only about 30 episodes in from the beginning, and I understand it may get better as time goes on. But, I like to start from the beginning so I don’t listen to stuff out of order. I can deal with some banter, and some comedy, but when they take 5-10 minutes talking about something completely unrelated to the cult that we’re talking about makes it very hard to stay interested. Sometimes that happens several times throughout an episode. The idea of the podcast is pretty cool, I think it could still be cool with them if they would just cut out some of the off topic chatting every once in a while. I don’t know if I’ll continue the podcast. I want to, because cults are very interesting, and when they are actually talking about the cults I really enjoy it. It’s the long periods of stuff not even pertaining to the cults, talking about things they did in high school, or as kids, that’s what is pushing me away from the podcast. There have been several 2-almost 3 parter episodes that could’ve been done in one episode if they would only talk about the cult. I’m not saying don’t be funny, I enjoy the humor, but only when it pertains to the cult. It can be a great podcast, and does have some good episodes from what I’ve listened to so far, that’s why I’ve listened to about 30 episodes, but the off topic banter was just too much. Update: read reviews from more recent episodes and it’s apparently even worse now. So, I’m unsubscribing. It’s a shame, this could’ve been an awesome podcast, but the hosts are more worried about being entertaining instead of talking about the subject they claim the podcast is about. Even though, that subject matter is why most of us are here and that alone would be enough to keep us entertained.”
