Of to an ok start
I would probably like this more if it wasn't positioned as a replacement for Surprisingly Awesome. SA made me a straight up Gimlet fan. The premise was unique and made for very good listening. A while show amount cement? YASS! Every Little Thing's first salvo about solar eclipses was not very compelling. I learned nothing new. There was no substantive historical narrative, no exploration of how humans have made meaning of these events over time, and nothing to make me walk away with deepened appreciation or curiosity about these celestial events. The host has a pleasant voice and engaging manner. My hope is that the show will become richer and more interesting. If not, it will be one of very few Gimlet shows that wind up in my yawn bin. ALL of this said, I do have appreciation for the amount of work that goes into making even an ok podcast, and I respect the effort and investment of all involved. And, honestly, podcasting is one of the few creative endeavors that is both incredibly accessible and incredibly varied. There are so many outstanding shows, that the bar is set high for each newcomer. And, hey, lots of shows (radio, tv, YouTube, etc.) have a rocky first season, and then turn into something great. So, I give this a solid three stars and will keep listening.Read full review »
