“This podcast is filled with some great nuggets of info!
My only complaints are that at times it can be a little unclear what is happening (twice now I’ve gotten confused on which fact is fake because I’ve zoned out for a second and didn’t catch it), and the whole “points” system seems kind of dumb to me. Old HFS viewers like me enjoyed the show because of the weird tangents! Seems odd to me to attach a value to that, and to try and gamify it. Just do your tangent things, and keep the points purely to the fake facts/cool facts sections. Spending points to go on little sidenotes just feel weird, and like a bizarre way to shoe horn in structure and rules that feel unnecessary. The show references tangents in the title, but treats them as something to avoid.
I think the podcast has places to go, but in its current format it’s not very satisfying to listen to (for me personally). However, it’s very early on, and I’m sure things will adapt and change for the better in the coming weeks/months! I also come from the old HFS, so naturally I’m struggling with a different format in general, but I feel I’ve been fairly objective in my thoughts.
Also, Sam is great, and I want a recording of just him talking to lull me to sleep.”
