“I was super disappointed by the shallow depiction of the flat earther community, which lacked any nuance or insight. It would have been interesting to see this topic covered with an empathetic lense, perhaps touching on mental illness, traumatic life events, social isolation, or other factors that make people more susceptible to this mode of thinking. Describing flat earthers as “idiots” who live in their mothers’ basements, reveals the hosts’ intellectual elitism and privilege. I don’t normally review podcasts I don’t like but this one just seems to spread judgement and vitriol. Ironically, spreading some vitriol of my own, the hosts’ manner of speaking sounds vapid and their jokes are truly, truly, unfunny.”
