“I’m a big fan of these creators and their YouTube channel, but this podcast seems like lower-grade fare than anything you can find on the PBS Eons channel.
I don’t want to sound impatient, but I wish they would cut to the chase with the intros. They are just too long and overly descriptive, without adding much substance.
I often find myself skipping the first 3 minutes or so because the host will summarize again once the little music jingle plays. It seems redundant and takes away around 1/5 of a podcast, being 3 out of 15 minutes just to give a round number.
In a bad way, this podcast reminds me of the YouTube channels where people basically read Wikipedia entries and slap a couple of pictures together to make a slide show.
For example: in the recent Denisovan episode, the location of the cave is described multiple times, in a way that seems like they’re just drawing out the time. Could we instead talk more about the specific adaptations Denisovans passed down to modern peoples, and maybe add some speculation in there?
Bottom line, I’m tired of hearing info I’ve already learned, sometimes from the PBS Eons YouTube channel itself, in less detail on this podcast. There’s few fresh ideas or information, and little fresh discussion.”
