Disappointing decline

“As a long-time listener of the "Make Me Smart" podcast, I am disappointed and frustrated by the direction it has taken in recent years. Once an engaging and informative show, it has gradually devolved into a platform for extreme leftist political commentary. As a result, I can't give this podcast anything more than a 1-star rating.
The podcast has become increasingly one-sided and politically biased. Kai and Kimberly now make little to no effort to present balanced viewpoints, opting instead to push their own political agenda. This not only alienates long-time listeners like myself, but also exacerbates the growing political divide in our society.
The political commentary on "Make Me Smart" has grown progressively more superficial, cherry-picking facts and anecdotes to support the hosts' existing beliefs. The lack of thorough analysis and intellectual rigor is a far cry from the podcast's earlier days, and it's disheartening to see how far it has strayed from its original mission.
Furthermore, the podcast's tone has taken a turn for the worse, becoming condescending and patronizing. It's as if the hosts believe their opinions are the only valid ones, and anyone who disagrees is simply uninformed or ignorant. This attitude detracts from the show's potential value and makes it nearly impossible to appreciate any insights it may offer.
In conclusion, as a once-loyal listener, I can no longer recommend "Make Me Smart" to anyone seeking a balanced, informative, and engaging podcast. The extreme leftist bias, superficial commentary, and patronizing tone have turned a former favorite into a disappointing and frustrating listening experience. There are countless other podcasts available that offer a more fair and insightful exploration of current events – don't waste your time with this one.”Read full review »
