“Ive listened to 5/6 episodes of this podcast so far and all they offer are personal rebuttals and anecdotes for whatever tangent they're on. They go off topic constantly which makes you forget that they're trying to debunk a documentary. Sad to see something as biassed and unscientific...”Read full review »

“Unfortunately there is no substance to the episodes in this podcast. They are critical of whatever they talk about just for the sake of being critical. They do not strive to present an unbiased review of the science behind the topic. I checked out this podcast because of a recommendation from The...”Read full review »

“While I agree with and appreciate what this podcast is trying to achieve, unfortunately the superior tone taken by the hosts is really untidy and off-putting.

“I had started listening because PIxie Turner had been on a podcast talking about dieting and diet culture and how harmful it is. They have provided some valuable links and even assisted in me loosening my thoughts around bariatric surgery. I like having my world view shifted with facts. That...”Read full review »

“I put 4/5 bc I love Pixie on insta but would’ve rated it lower if it wasn’t her. Scientific content is sometimes limited and not very detailed, lots of useless swearing, anti-vegan and anti-men stuff (some might call it feminism but I don’t think that’s what feminism should be about). It’s okay....”Read full review »

“Love this podcast. Two knowledgable women sharing a sensible and nuanced perspective on these terrible documentaries- whilst also having a good laugh at some of the ridiculousness of them. Everyone should be forced to listen to the related episodes after watching any of these BS shows”
