“Love this podcast and Jaime’s storytelling. The only thing is the amount of ads! 2-3 minutes of ads 4 times during the podcast is outrageous.
I’d prefer to just give you money is a Patreon than have to sit through the obscene amount of ads.”

“I love this show - it’s fascinating, intelligent and funny. I have recommended it to many people.
The only downside is that there are SO MANY ads - it’s got to be at least 25% of the total podcast time and the 4-5 minute breaks really take you out of the story.”

“Jamie is a clever storyteller and a master of audio effects. This podcast feels like I’m talking to a cooler older cousin with good fashion taste and hot takes on esoteric internet trends.”

“Each episode is a hit or miss. Some are interesting and fun while others are boring. The host also tries really hard to be funny but falls flat 99% of the time. She’s also really biased and doesn’t do well on reporting certain topics.”

“I love Jamie’s story telling style and I find I am captivated by her style of wandering. It sets things up perfectly and I am so engaged. I love the range of topics - I am surprised by which ones I remember and the ones I don’t know are still fascinating.”

“Loftus (using only the last name is how you know how serious this is) is appointment listening. There’s no one better at getting into the weeds of complicated situations and bringing you along in a way that makes you think “i probably shouldn’t be here but i don’t regret being here.” And once...”Read full review »

“The show is well-researched and fun but the host seems to think she’s being clever by (more than) occasionally blasting an air horn effect as if it’s a laugh track. It was rather funny once. Since then it has become incredibly annoying, especially as it’s happening almost constantly now, and...”Read full review »

“I love Jamie’s work, it’s always well-researched and thoughtful, and this podcast is no exception. My only (very minor) quibble is that it can sometimes take too long to get to the point/meat of the topic in an episode. There’s almost too much information at times. Like I’m not sure we need a...”Read full review »
