My Answer To The Make Me Smart Question that they do not want you to hear…

“I thought the Make Me Smart team were sincere when they constantly say let us know what you think and that the show is some sort of collaboration between the hosts and listeners I later found out that this is just empty words. Let me explain why. I have happily listened to every episode of Make Me Smart since day one and I really enjoy the pod. In episode 895 on April 5, 2023 Kimberley stated that only 15 million US citizens have a passport. As a US citizen living abroad, I have always been interested in this issue as there was a persistent urban myth that only 10% of Americans had a passport. After searching for the truth, I found that according to travel.state.govthere were just shy of 152 million valid passports in circulation in 2022. The bottom line here is that Kimberley made a huge factual error on this episode. Make Me Smart constantly says "None of us as as smart as all of us. Does all of us include the HOSTS? If you do not want to broadcast Kimberley’s mistake on the air that is understandable since that would be embarrassing to your aura of omniscience. However a meaningful mea culpa would have been appropriate. I sent two emails to Make Me Smart and only received the “Thank you for contacting us” perfunctory reply. I even attempted to reach out to Kimberley via Twitter but no joy there either. I realize that Make Me Smart may get too emails but don’t tell us on air that someone reads every message if that is not the case. And don’t pretend that Make Me Smart is some sort of collaboration when you don’t have the decency to reply when a host makes an egregious factual error.”Read full review »
