News written by AI. Often mispronounced by the person reading it or maybe that is AI too. Don’t like the new format. Too much gossip. Miss the deep dives. What a mistake to let Claire go. Big mistake! Now I listen to the solo bureau.

What a disgracefully disappointing decision to drop Clare Murphy. I’ve been listening to her new podcast The Solo Bureau and it’s already 1000x better than the Quicky could dream of being - and with no editorial bias from *cough* z!onist founders.
Just like Claire - I’m out

NNN72

Today’s host sounded more like AI than human. Claire was the draw card for me (and most listeners I’m sure) - so I’m unfollowing and heading over to her new pod at The Solo Bureau. Over and out.
