As others have said, I want to like this...
...but I just can't. There have been some wonderful guests on the show so far, but their words are covered over by the hosts shouting their agreement every other sentence. There's a very real lack of diversity here: streams of thought, gender, race, stage of life, etc. it's enormously weighted towards white men in their 20's-30's. It's genuinely frustrating to listen to all of the groans of confirmation bias inspired support. I've also grown weary of hearing what should be a deep or unsettling statement from a guest referred to as "good juice."

I just finished the show with Derek Webb. What an insightful show!!! I have been listening for awhile now and the guys never fail to impress with their insight and willingness to be open to other beliefs. I will continue to listen. Keep up the good works guys!!!

But as another reviewer stated, "The most distracting part of the podcast definitely has to be how hyper and enthusiastic the hosts are." True, it's very irritating and it tends to...Read full review »
