Sounds Like A Cult - Podcast Rankings and reviews

The older episodes of this show are really enjoyable and informative. I enjoyed the episodes with Isa and the season where Amanda had a guest host come on was great because they brought their knowledge about the subject matter to enrich the episode. The quality has really decreased, unfortunately, in the newest season with the new hosts that have been added. It is a lot of giggling and joking and very little information. I unfollowed. I think the new hosts and new tone might be designed to reach a younger demographic, which might be more suited to other listeners. I just preferred the way it was before.

Truly enjoy the discussions on this pod. Now and then the guest is underwhelming but the topics never disappoint. And neither does Amanda. Alright podcaster, writer, thinker, fun human, pop off ☺️

I love this podcast! Amanda’s wit, humor, smarts and insights are a breath of fresh air in this culty universe. If you haven’t read her book Cultish, highly recommend it too - that’s what led me to this podcast :)

I just found this podcast because of two girls one ghost and I’m in love! All I have is time to listen to music in podcasts because I’m a mobile dog groomer and I have to say that I binged this podcast so fast. I love hearing intellectual conversations with a mix of silliness. Also really loving Amanda’s other podcast which I will do a review for! Thanks for all your work ladies!

I was recommended this because I like You’re Wrong About. I enjoyed the first few episodes, but over time I realized there’s little to no factual statements about the groups they talk about and often it just perpetuates stereotypes, it’s fully just their opinions. Which would be fine if they marketed it like that or if it were funny at all, but it’s not. If people want to learn about obscure things from a well-researched POV, there are plenty of better podcasts! This missed the mark for me, not funny enough to be comedy and not thoughtful enough to be informative.

I just turned off the latest episode after the 3rd ad break repeated itself and was over 6 minutes long. I know you need to make money, but I just can’t do 3-4 breaks that are over 5 minutes each. I hope they reign in the amount and length of breaks soon! (And yes, I know I could subscribe to get rid of ads but I also cannot do another subscription omg our whole lives are paywalled). Otherwise it’s a great podcast.
