“I’ve only listened to the first episode and I really liked it. For me the strength of the podcast is kind of like following two aliens coming to Earth and trying to understand what the hell a “cruise” is. They come in with their own preconceptions, and their own flaws (some of them medical), and then they just kind of experience things. They talk to interesting people and really seem to wrestle with what they observe in others and themselves. Then they finish their cruise and are clearly off for another adventure in another place. Which works for me as a podcast.
I read some of the low rating reviews, and I don’t think it’s fair to characterize the podcasters as snobs. I think that’s just a side effect of them being very open about the baggage they’re bringing to the experience. I don’t feel like anyone comes off as their best self if you’re being candid about your own prejudices. It’s brave and vulnerable of these two people.
Seems like the format is two people, having adventures and talking to interesting people on the planet Earth. Like I said, Doctor Who but for real life. I’d say check it out.”
