What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The podcast is very clearly ai. I stumbled on it by accident and I couldn’t even make it through one episode. The “conversation” is annoying and has nothing interesting to add, as it’s very much just mixing together things scraped from other sources like reviews and websites. Not to mention that it’s not even correct. There were several “facts” in the episode I listened to that were just incorrect. I knew because I’ve read the books multiple times.
