Too short and too much personal filler
They pick great topics, but a lot of them are covered much more thoroughly in other podcasts. Even if you’re after 15-minute bite-sized episodes like these, there’s better options out there. I’d like to hear less of the personal thoughts from the hosts and more about the topic (the personal story in the Catalina Bison episode was completely unnecessary and didn’t contribute much of anything to the topic, for example). The Museum of Broken Relationships episode completely missed mentioning that there’s a branch in Los Angeles in addition to the original in Portugal. Missed small details like that are important. They don’t need to fully inform about every fact of course, but too often it feels like they’re short-changing the topic.

…that is so wonderfully small you seem foolish putting a commercial in a 10 min podcast. Not worth it, easier taking information from their website without the intrusive advertising of the show. Great website, great content, just wish the podcast respected that better.
