it lacks something
Podcasts about facts/topics seem to be really difficult to make, perhaps because most often they fail to tell a compelling story and so I fail to listen. To me this was true for at least two previous Gimlet shows (Surprisingly awesome - especially the last episodes - and Undone). Topic-based podcasts seem particularly hard when they have no real angle on stories (in contrast, Science Vs has a neat angle; science vs beliefs). I listened to the first episode of Every Little Thing and I am afraid it had no story and no real angle. There are people who chase solar eclipses. Other people organize their lives around watching birds... so what? This doesn't tell me why I should be interested in them. (That being said, I like the host. She has that even NPR tone which is rare in Gimlet shows).Read full review »

Loved the first episode about solar eclipses - it's a great blend of fascinating subjects, humor and information. Looking forward to hearing more!Read full review »

This was the type of show I was looking for when surprisingly awesome came out. Good move Gimlet. Looking forward to Mondays now.
