Increased Bias from Shankar

“I used to love this podcast and would listen to it whenever I had extra time because it offered valuable information and insights. The host’s deep dives into various topics and the engaging interviews with experts were always enlightening. However, I recently noticed that the host uses biased language when discussing political issues, which has started to affect my enjoyment and trust in the content.
For example, when speaking about the Palestine/Israel conflict, the host refers to it as the “Arab-Israeli war,” which implies that Palestine does not exist. This terminology is not only inaccurate but also dismissive of Palestinian identity and history. Additionally, in recent episodes, the host quotes studies from Israeli universities without acknowledging the ongoing human rights violations committed by Israel. This lack of balance and critical perspective is concerning and detracts from the credibility of the podcast.
It’s very upsetting that the episodes seem to be taking sides, as I had appreciated the podcast for its previously objective approach. I hope the host considers providing a more balanced view on such sensitive topics in the future. Until then, I find it difficult to continue recommending this podcast as a reliable source of information.”

The content was shallow, the segments were short and unremarkable and it felt like after every few minutes they were advertising something or giving a shout out to another...”Read full review »

“Sorry, I tried. It's clearly well produced and well advertised but too many gimmicks, no reporting and pretty basic topics. Listen to Radiolab instead. There are now too many other good pods out there that this is just not worth it. Do better.”Read full review »
