Insensitive

“I have listened to the Box of Oddities for a while. Back in times immemorial, I even recommended it to friends. Initially, the quirky banter between the hosts entertained me. When I realized the entertainment was cognitively related to distant memories of my my grandparents bickering during their habitual evening cribbage tourneys, it made things different somehow. This realization felt like a light switch was turned on. My first illuminated vision regarding this podcast was surrounding the masked cultural insensitivity. On the surface it seems like the hosts try to present the topic in an informative way, yet it is called “the Box of Oddities”. It feels like the consumer is being told “look how weird that culture is”. Something else that became glaringly obvious was the ratio of content to commercials. Nowadays, I begin by fast forwarding 5 minutes at the beginning of each episode, then I fast forward 5 minutes again in the middle. This ratio of commercials to content feels exceedingly capitalistic. The “thing in the middle” lost its value. Finally, one has to ponder the state of mind of the hosts. They initially moved from Maine to Florida. Now they left the United States. Perhaps they should be looking inward every time they feel the need to move. One can not deny JG’s ability to spin a yarn, that much is certain.”
