Interesting content, slow pace and too trusting

“I’ll start by saying I like this show. I’ve listened to all three seasons. The stories are interesting, and framed and told well. But if there’s a season 4, I’m probably skipping it.
First issue, the show moves slowly. I get the repetitive sound bite sense that’s typical of daytime TV - I don’t need to be told the same thing 3 times. And the stories sometimes seem squeezed for additional drops of content, rather than told at a natural pace. Each season could have been 2/3 the length, and I was tempted to speed up the playback.
Second issue, each season is based around a single central character, and they all strike me as unreliable. They’re telling these stories in part to make themselves look good or important. Season 1 was particularly bad on this front, with a guy who’s written his own life a novel and seems to want to be seen as a character in hard-boiled mystery books. The host sometimes checks their assertions or verifies with other sources, but far too much is taken at face value, given both their motives and everything we know about memory. I get why it was done, but it reduces my trust in what I’m hearing.”

“I was immediately sucked in. The dry wit and wild story are great but the addition of a well crafted script and the choices made in how it’s narrated make it :chefskiss: Great non-fiction storytelling.”
