“Love Heavyweight but the diaries represent everything “meh” about audio storytelling - the silly process of making something out of nothing, extending and inventing story where there is none, has never been more obvious. It seems like it’s funny to those making it, and I don’t care about the sponsorship, but the content itself is just exhausting. I love a glimpse into Gimlet and process. This obviously isn’t that, not earnestly at least, even by a degree - so why are we listening?
Please don’t forget that Heavyweight is great because of heart and storytelling. JG’s droll faux-self-deprecation/Peter Sellers bit is just seasoning - not the dish itself.
Nothing is actually worth an Apple review, I was just walking home from the gym. No stakes here - I will keep listening (duh). Just had the opportunity.”
