GOSSIPMONGERS

My new favorite podcast. I never heard it with “Poppy” in it. All I know is it is immature, disgusting, inappropriate, and f$#king funny.

I heard rumor that this was a great podcast. Just stop now.

What a shame, this used to be one of my frequent recommendations but the new format isn’t good. Poppy brought a levity to the show that now sort of feels like two dudes gargle laughing in their basement and trying to force themselves to have a good time through sheer force of will. Glad that the internet archive has copies of the old episodes, since they apparently pulled them all down off itunes in some weird hope their fans would forget.

Wow! What a massive drop in quality between seasons 3 and 4! The format has been modified — the “guest celebrity” segments are missing, the atmospheric between-story interludes that gave such a unique feel to the show are gone, and of the hosts is gone without explanation, which drastically changes the chemistry. It seems as if they Joe and David decided to maximize profits by removing most of the expenses from the show, apparently unaware they were eliminating much of its charm. This show went from the funniest podcast on earth to one hardly worth listening to. Biggest crime was making the first 3 seasons unavailable now that they’ve introduced their inferior new format! Apple should remove the reviews prior September 2020, as they do not refer to the shows that are currently available for listening.

Was great when Poppy was a part of it. Now they deleted the old eps and are reusing old stories with just the two guys – acting as if they haven’t heard them before?? What??
