Sadly not for me anymore

slb11035/26/2026

Used to really enjoy this podcast & the hosts’ banter, but not so much anymore. Amazing how they always seem to mention religion when the subject is Jewish, but rarely, if ever, mention anyone else’s religion. I could understand if it had some relevance to the story, but it never does. Either mention everyone’s religious upbringing or don’t mention it all.

Enjoy, Every So Often

Seasoned journalist reads interesting articles to her intern, whose speech sounds like a mouthful of braces. Unbingeshable.

Has potential

I started listening to this to try a new podcast. It’s really hard to listen to the micro aggressions against men, Jews, and white people. They’re even siding with female scammers simply because they’re women. It has alot of potential but it’s hard to listen to in already divided world.

Love this show

I love this show. I’ve been listening since day one. And I’m a MAN! One of three that listen! Haha. It’s always been so well researched and well written. And I love the hosts’ chemistry. Their wholesale bashing groups of people have largely subsided and luckily they still have all the good stuff! Update: It’s funny, I know a lot about a lot of different subjects because of this show. Scams run this world ~

pretty good but…

i like this podcast and the stories they tell but for the love of god enough with the knocking/banging on the door sound effect. literally any time a person in the story meets another person we get this sound effect. enough. we know what a knock on the door sounds like.
