“I was excited about this podcast when I first heard about it. I have been a fan of Will's writing; I was not familiar with April, but really enjoyed her pieces when she joined Slate. I still like their writing; the podcast, not so much. The topics are timely, the hosts know their stuff, the format is fine (standard Slate), but the hosts have lousy chemistry. For this kind of a Slate podcast, the hosts make or break it and unfortunately these two have all the charm and faux camaraderie of a midday news broadcast ("Over to you, Person"). When they have had substitute hosts the show has been brighter, more fluid, and more natural. Also, April's subtweety snarkiness is wearing at times and sometimes it sounds like she is just reading her piece; Will often just sounds flat. I've listened to almost every episode so far (I have tried!) waiting for things to gel and get interesting, but it's time to just delete from my Slate member's feed. There are plenty of better competitors out there. Slate should have a strong podcast in this space, and they have had very interesting tech voices, but these hosts seem better suited to the written word, and I will continue to look forward to their pieces there.”Read full review »

“Good, informative, podcast but 1/3 of it is advertising and the conflict of interests makes certain episodes difficult to take seriously.”

“April Glaser is truly terrific, and Will Oremus is also strong. Overall this is well done, very interesting, and usefully informative.”

“Interesting topics but hosts lack charisma and chemistry. Would prefer casual, free flowing conversation while still being factual. Feels too forced and too news report like.”
