Ya know what? I don’t think the boomers were right. Their equivilant to podcasts was FM Radio having talk shows at 6am with wacky hosts that use slide whistles, fake laughs, and crazy sound effects every 3 seconds.

They didn’t have it right. There’s absolutely room for something way better…but those awful 80s morning shows were still better than these podcasts.

I just miss people talking about something they know in an organized and professional manner.

I just don’t care for random string of consciousness to pretend I am part of a conversation I can’t actually participate in.

No Such Thing As A Fish: Four QI researchers each pick a fact they find out about and discuss it. Very good and has been going for years. It’s where I get a lot of my useless facts from.

I was a fan until they started talking about something I know quite a bit about. It was like they were regurgitating “facts” from a Ladybird book they read when they were five.

I can believe that. They’re panel show researchers, not some sort of high level expert on whatever so I’ve found that for a baseline of “interesting but maybe not super in depth” it’s fine for me.
