ESN: Eloquently Saying Nothing

Yes yes yes Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, cats and dogs, rodents and other small insects! So no disrespect to anyone else, but as your biggest podfan, I felt it necessary to write a little review for the fellas! You guys bring so much joy to my week but since I’ve recently moved to Singapore, I’ve had to get used to not waking up to a new episode each and every Tuesday! Rather, I’ve had to switch my listening day to Wednesday as it’s 8 hours ahead here and I prefer to listen as I go about life duties during the day ☺️ but having the pod in my ears as I’m navigating life in a new place gives me a sense of familiarity, like I have a piece of home with me! I’ve decided to cut back on the number of entertainment podcasts I listen to as for me, this year is all about self-development and I want to utilise my time learning new skills, but one podcast I am certain to never cease consuming, is the ESN gang. Just wanted to say guys, you are: the epitome of great podding; clarity & consistency across the board friendship levels; bants, respect & individuality, and Big bro vibes; sincere, wise & warm Wishing you all the most success for the coming year, personally, professionally and with ESN. I wish you guys would start filming episodes for YT so we could watch (waits patiently!) and like a previous listener said, you should definitely take this pod on the road. Do live shows and give the people what they want! All the best, your número uno x

The hosts lack the intellectual range to discuss anything beyond football. They offer no unique perspectives on politics or social issues, merely regurgitating shallow takes from Twitter. Their confusion between the United Nations and NATO made me want to donate to the Department for Education. Moreover, they fail to deliver the comedy that often makes ignorant podcasts entertaining—à la The Joe Budden Podcast, which they clearly take inspiration from but lack the charm to replicate. The moment one host quoted a theory by Andrew Tate as if he were an anthropologist worthy of quotation, I knew this podcast wasn’t for me. Stick to UK Black culture, where your knowledge is stronger, and avoid forcing connections to wider social issues that you lack the depth to discuss.

Thank you guys for your consistency and transparency. Your take on topics are unmatched because of your thorough research and comedic relief.

Amen
