Good premise but host and guests ruin it
I was very interested in listening to this podcast because the idea is great. It was enjoyable for a while except you could turn it into a drinking game every time Mike(host) says something is “the worst.” There were occasional political or social comments that didn’t fit the discussion but over time it got more common to where it made me turn it off. Mike and most of his guests find too many things offensive like word choices, not enough “diversity” or how characters were described. They can be very petty about complaining about a character, a fictional cultural norm yet ignore character or story development. Instead of reading the books as they are, they are insist on implementing their moral standards on a fictional world. If I had known or it was more obvious in the first episodes, I would have stopped earlier.
