The quality of the show is not as good as before
I have been a big fan of the show through its many reincarnations and have loved the show and the hosts over the years. However I feel like the quality of the content has become more and more diluted. I really miss the “Culture Call” during early pandemic days when it has been such inspirational and joyous conversations between the hosts and the in-depth interviews with the cultural figures. Perhaps it’s an intentional pivot, since the name of the podcast has also changed. I welcome the experiments and do like a light-themed fun show sometimes. But I find the recent episodes very watered down and it’s become much more of a spontaneous chitchat that’s not that fun anymore because how it only scratches the surface of many topics… which leaves me wonder whether I should move on to other shows to satisfy the expectation of intellectual stimuli. I really loved the show and that’s why I wanted to share my thoughts about it!

I hope Culture Call comes back - you two do a great job and interview interesting people. As someone that has trouble keeping up on culture, this is a great way to catch up and find new movies, books, shows etc to check out

Hosts are great at situating interviewees in terms of relevance/why they're interesting so it's always an enjoyable listen even if it's outside your field. Also, they ask more challenging questions that most culture podcasts!Read full review »
