Low info

The hosts have nice voices and are likeable. Unfortunately there is not enough content to balance the ads. They spend a lot of time resetting the story and adding comments that are just placeholding. They tried to make five minutes of content into forty something minutes. It’s too bad because it was a good cautionary story with some interesting information in it.

One of the reasons I like podcasts is that I can’t stand TV documentaries where they reset the story over and over in between showing you a bunch of ads. And there is five minutes of real content. Please don’t make podcasts like awful TV! It’s supposed to be a format with substance as an alternative to all the shallow stuff.

Having two hosts is a good format but I hate when they make one sound like they don’t know anything about ANYTHING. I know one is supposed to be explaining the story to the other but sometimes they go too far with the pretend ignorance. I wonder why I should be getting information from people that know way less than I do about anything.

This sounds really harsh I know. The hosts like I said are likeable, they are just using a format I hate to see used in podcasts.
