I used to really love this pod, was listening way back when Case was on, but am really struggling to enjoy it recently.
The tone of the show seems so smug now. It’s hard to put my finger on it … but almost every topic seems to involve Chris, Risdon, or Ash (who is brutal) telling you what to think or what not to think, reminding you of the times they were right, and arguing against hypothetical counter points. Chris is the worst at this - he just comes across so annoying.
Does anyone else feel this way or am I crazy? It sucks because I used to love the show
Ash isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but he does make good stuff. He’s tons is just gonna put some people off, and if that’s you, that’s okay.
The Podcast was hands down better with Case. I think Case kept Chris grounded and the two of them were a good duo. I enjoy Chris’ boyish humor, but like Ash, it’s not for everyone.
