Review of Make Me Smart - Used to be better

Used to be better

☆

“I used to really love this show. I started listening in around June 2019 and it became part of my daily routine that I looked forward to when episodes became daily. I’m sad to say that it has become gradually less enjoyable and less smart over time, and now I kind of hate having to get through it, but I hate to let go a show that I used to truly love. I really miss Molly Wood. I really like Kimberly too, but her chemistry with Kai just isn’t the same. I hate the half full/half empty game. Almost all the opinions are predictable and obvious for the topics brought forward in it, so it is pointless. I really wish they would return to once- or twice-weekly episodes with higher value. They used to feature great listener messages, but for a long time almost all of them have been fluff with little substance about any important topics discussed. Clearly with the increase in ad breaks, the daily show isn’t garnering as much listener support as other marketplace shows. Return to better substance and less fluff-based shows, and maybe that will change! Please don’t let this show continue to go downhill.”
