“I have loved this show for nearly 10 years. Jack and Miles are both wonderful hosts, great personalities, and they bring in great guests.
However… lately, I’ve been getting a weird vibe from the show. they (and Jack in particular) seem to have some big blind spots for some extremely major parts of pop culture, and seem pre-programmed to be very dismissive of subject matter they aren’t already fans of, regardless of how good or popular it might be.
Politically, I also feel like they have strayed into un-alloyed cynicism. I used to appreciate their lefty, but unvarnished opinion on the political sphere. Lately, it seems to be exclusively about dunking on Biden, without enough recognization of the much more urgent issue of the rise of fascism. They even seem to conflate the two at times.
I don’t love Biden, but this is maddening. If you’re going to criticize him, I would like to hear, in the same breath, an alternative opinion of what they believe people should most effectively do or vote for. It just seems cheap to mock him (the most effective liberal president in recent decades) without acknowledging the accomplishments or emphasizing the horrors of the alternative.
I used to listen earnestly every weekday, and I still do mostly, but now I find myself rolling my eyes half the time. And I don’t think it’s me that has changed. I wouldn’t go so far as to call them ‘elites’, but it seems like a symptom of coastal liberalism. And I’m more leftist than liberal, who lives in the center of America.
Jack and Miles seem to LOVE dunking on mainstream liberals, which is fine, but it really feels like they are MISSING THE BIG PICTURE lately.”

“This is not comedy. This is not even funny snarky comment he… They're just so negative and every new story is so very negative. The daily Zeitgeist? The daily Zeitgeist of white people? I am definitely liberal and an activist but when I look for something that's marked comedy and find...”Read full review »
