The weaknesses of this podcast
Overall, I enjoy vox media podcasts. But the podcasts have serious flaws. Specific to The Worldly: First of all, the hosts agree too much with each other -> groupthink 2nd of all, they talk about subjects they know NOTHING about as if they are experts. It’s actually painful for me to listen to some of their episodes. It’s abundantly clear that the hosts got their info from other pre-digested source materials (with a political agenda) and are just parroting the talking points from other media outlets. 3rd of all, the hosts do not fact check enough. Seeing as they often report on foreign countries and yet do NOT speak the language of the countries they report on, many of their discussions are simply laughable. The hosts are merely repeating what they heard from other US medias. Most vox listeners might be monolingual in english. But those of us not reliant on US mainstream media for all our info just roll our eyes at the ridiculous unthinking consensus among “mainstream” media, Vox included. It’s this kind of non-thinking consensus of the media that got us into trouble in the past. Ex: The iraq war due to the non-existent weapons of mass destruction This is info-tainment disguised as a thinking man’s media. I think vox can do better because at least they’re trying

Great show, but I cannot listen without counting, like, the number of "LIKE" words come out of Jen's mouth. It is so distracting. Goodness gracious. Please make an effort to correct!Read full review »

The first episode is informative and accessible for all listeners. The only downside is that Jennifer says "like" a lot and the other two hosts also says "like" often. It gets hard to listen to once you notice.Read full review »
