“I have been listening to this show faithfully for about eight years now, and I have rarely missed an episode. This show avoids the Podcast Banter Problem™️ perfectly in my opinion. There isn’t much chit chat, and every segment is a well produced, highly edited and succinct conversation about the topic at hand. I don’t want to sit around listening to random people talk to each other, that’s not why I listen to a podcast. I listen to a podcast to learn things.
More importantly, however, these three are truly brilliant cultural critics. Their academic backgrounds make for very high-level analysis and conversation. They’re outrageously smart, savvy, articule hosts.
My only quibble is I kind of wish they would never talk about music. There is a distinctly white, indie, Gen X point of view there that is just too narrow. It’s kind of like listening to NPR that way, I just skip the music discussion altogether.
Ditto for all the discussions of tentpole Marvel movies. I understand it’s important to cover what Americans are actually watching, but those are segments I always skip.
Otherwise this is a perfect show, and I always call it “my favorite podcast” for good reason. 10/10!”
