Deep Cuts - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Thank you so much for the work you put into the Qanon series. I have lost my spouse to this “movement” and I feel like I have now have a lot more factual information to try to counter the endless misinformation. It really is a blessing! Good work!!!

They can be long winded at times, so some tighter editing would be nice. But otherwise the topics are always interesting and hosts always do great research into each topic. Keep it up!

Lots of interesting tidbits and fun, obscure facts. Ignore bad reviews that say the show is “political”. The show is about as apolitical as practically possible but some topics (like QAnon) are inherently connected to politics, so if you’re so partisan that you cannot stand a dose of well researched facts that make your side look bad, maybe you should stick to fiction

Really terrific stuff. Great guests who are experts on the subject and a really exhaustive look at the phenomenon. Highly recommended for folks who listen to shows such as QAA.

You two stray way too much from the story… the banter can be fun but it becomes so obnoxious that the story is lost. Also in the Lisa frank episode comments about appearances is never okay. I get you were trying describe who she is but let’s take a moment to reflect on how those negative comments on her looks are irrelevant to the storyline.

You can tell these guys love the cultural cryptozoology of the content - but sometimes it feels like they love the way they sound talking about the content more.

Now, you might be thinking, “Well of course - that’s what podcasts are, dummy."

And in general: I’d agree with you. But you have to balance that with the actual info you want to get across or else, in this case, you end up with a poor man’s Upright Citizens Brigade reading Wikepedia pages interspersed with un-addressed issues better suited for a therapist.

It’s not the worst podcast out there - and really has the potential to be great with a little more structure and restraint - but for two guys who come from storytelling backgrounds (comics and film) they tend to lose control of the conversation - and the narrative - pretty regularly. You’re left wishing even ten percent more of the conversation was just spent talking about the advertised title instead of 20 minutes devoted to rambling childhood memories or wildly tangential pop-culture references.
