Insipid, Underwhelming
The two hosts’ idea of being critical is formulaic to the point of being boring, embarrassing. I would usually begin an episode with eagerness and curiosity about the topics they’ve curated only to find myself frustrated at the disappointing and predictable turn the conversation unfailingly takes. They obviously love hearing themselves talk; you can hear it in the way they react to and drag out certain points like it’s the single greatest revelation to happen to them all year, or even the past decade. My problem with this is that this mode of delivery is used to mask the fact that they provide no original insight. (Or maybe they do, but to themselves only? Like their opinions are news to them but in reality something the world has already “processed,” likely ages ago?) It tries to be organically smart, thoughtful, and intellectual but in an too-conscious, overproduced way. The result is this cringe-fest of a podcast that I’ve finally decided to delete; I don’t need regular deliveries of flat and trite—but with a dash of self-importance—taking up storage space.
