A fall from grace

“I recently decided to check out the podcast today (Feb 2022) only to see that it was discontinued in June of 2020. As heart breaking as it was to see, it was inevitable.
When I discovered this podcast in 2014, it quickly became one of my favorites. It was funny, it was random, it talked about various topics that were always interesting. It had everything: pop culture, history, science/sci-fi, and random facts. Jack, the host at the time, brought energy and had interesting guests. It was fantastic.
And then Trump became president.
Quickly, the show began to circle the drain. It became obsessed with politics (something that it normally only talked about as a historical topic) and everything Trump. This podcast was an outlet for all of the drama out there. But it turned itself into it. All of the sudden, some of the writers started leaving Cracked to move onto other things. They knew what the future was for the podcast and knew when to bail. I jumped off the bandwagon before it drove off the cliff.
I’m saddened that it’s over. In its prime, it was geeky, charming and had a ton of heart. Maybe someone like Jack will try to pick up back up off of its feet? Bring it back to what people liked about it before it tried to take itself seriously.”

“There are lots of pop culture podcasts out. I listen to some of them but often the conversations are shallow and veer more towards the podcaster's experience and feelings about some bit of media. Cracked takes a look at the stuff around them and delves into it. They have big topics and really...”Read full review »

“Interesting topics and conversation, but I've got to echo others on the intrusive music. It's one thing to use brief music clips for intro or transitions, but it's extremely obnoxious to have full hip-hop tracks in the middle of the show, or played while the hosts are talking.
Maybe...”Read full review »
