“I started listening to Radiolab way back in 2006–in it’s early days. I was a big fan of their analytical approach, engaging storylines and science-based themes. I’m sad to say that the glory days of Radiolab are over. In the past couple of years it has become a serial propaganda piece for extreme leftist views. As someone who used to identify as a liberal—back when we were actually “liberal”—it’s somewhat impressive that the political taint to this show could become so utterly intolerable to me. I honestly can’t get through a single episode anymore. I don’t think they could get farther from the objective, reason and fact-based focus that made them shine in the early days. Who really knows why, but I think it all started around the time Jad was hammered (and apologized in the subsequent podcast) for saying “b-tches”. It seems to have take a turn for the worse after that moment and has spiraled since then. I guess I’ll just chock this up to another media outlet catering to the absurdities of the most vocal and extreme minorities in their [listen]ership. I’ve unsubscribed for good and I wouldn’t recommend the show to anyone. Try Eric Weinstein’s “The Portal” instead. It is markedly more intellectually honest than the agenda-driven drivel of RadioLab’s current thought leaders.
-Peace b-tches.”
