One of my favorite podcasts

Annie and Nick give off very “cool kid” vibes in the best way. The topics are interesting. I’m obsessed with the lack of ads. I hate the product recc sound effect because it interrupts the calm sound of the rest of the episode but also love that it feels really out of place/weird. (Also, why is Annie called Diamond?) Five stars.

Great pod

I love this show. Annie and Nick have a great dynamic they’re both sharp, smart, self aware and just funny. However Annie - your take on China being the reason they’re banning TT… girl the US has been stealing our data since day 1 via social media. It’s not about protecting Americans, china isn’t controlling a “narrative”, it’s about AIPAC stopping the free Palestine movement and how strong it’s become. You’re so smart I was really disappointed in that luke warm take….
