Makes me miss Randy Cohen
I so loved the old Ethicist podcast that Randy Cohen used to make. When they reintroduced it I was very excited that maybe this reboot would be an awesome new edition to my podcasts… But, after listening to this first episode, I’m sad to report that I don’t think that’s going to be the case. It’s not super terrible, but this panel just doesn’t have any chemistry, nor do their perspectives seem particularly deep or interesting. Randy was just one man, but his responses were always so smart and well reasoned. Listening to these three endlessly argue, the weird thing is that I never completely agree with any of them, and then there is never any consensus anyway. With Randy’s take I was always surprised how compelling his arguments were. And he had that great theme song.
