Land of the Giants

I came across this podcast by chance about 2 weeks ago while looking for something to listen to before a flight. I started with the Disney season and became so enthralled that I finished it before returning home from my trip. Now, just 2 weeks later, I’ve finished the seasons on Facebook, dating apps, and just a few moments ago, the season on Apple. Every seasons is executed so well, being engaging, informative, and concise all at the same time. Loving it and looking forward to more!

I truly enjoyed this other look to Disney. Growing up in the Nickelodeon era and going to Disney parks as a kid really placed everything into perspective as to the how Disney has become what it is today. Would highly recommend listening.

Season covering Disney has been fascinating, but honestly the best part of listening to all the episodes is the original music! Looked forward to hearing it every beginning, end, and transition for each episode. It perfectly mixes cool beats with this little melody that is somehow essence of Disney? So well done!

I am new to this show with season 8 and plan to backtrack to listen to all the past seasons. As I read through the comments I see people saying it is too sympathetic to Elon and others saying it is liberal media brainwashed content. What I love about those responses is that it shows that the podcast is bringing in many perspectives and, for the most part, is speaking about events as they happened and have been reported by the people involved. I think that the show was wonderfully narrated, separated into cohesive bites of topics, and captivate many of the aspects of what Tesla and its owner are doing. I really loved the comparison episode between the other vehicles and when elements were subjective, such as quality, they used metrics like repeated to deduce answers rather than using opinions. Overall, I’d recommend this podcast to a Musk lover or a Musk hater. Interesting, thought provoking, and well done.

Very liberal/left leaning with disdain for conservative viewpoints on full display, but to their credit much of the facts appear correct.

I’ve been bouncing around different seasons and most are reasonably interesting, until I tried season 4 about delivery apps. Yes I’m sure the restaurants at taking a hit from the apps, but so are the customers. Clearly this person has never ordered from a delivery app ever in their life if they think it’s “basically free” to get food delivered, it’s no where close to as cheap as picking up yourself. In addition to delivery fees, services fees, and tip which probably total at least 20-25% of you bill, you also have the actual items only the menu all costing $1-4+ more per item in the delivery app then they cost on the menu of the restaurants website or in person menu. The fact that these delivery app idiots are losing money must be due to huge inefficiencies on their part. They have zero customer service personnel, so if you have an issue they just give you a credit (or not) based on an algorithm - I had one time where I mentioned one $8 item was missing and the refunded me like $40 from the order, and another time where my food didn’t show up at all and they wouldn’t do anything for me. Regardless, it’s super unaffordable to regularly order through delivery apps because it costs an arm and a leg relative to picking up the order yourself, it’s really only worth it if the place is 15+ minutes away. And anyone with half a brain who has ordered before knows that, so either the writers don’t have half a brain or have never used the product they are writing about…
