The Cheese Wheel Podcast

Entertaining podcast, but you lose a star for having pretty much zero knowledge of the UK (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie episode and Heathers episode)...

I listened to the we will rock you episode of this podcast and what a poor episode it was. This seems to be is a podcast where a bunch of people who have very little knowledge of the band queen and the members contributions to Queens iconic history. Then makes a poor uneducated attempt to take down what is a very popular and successful musical. I cannot see this as a valid review because it seems that the nature of this review was already precalculated.

I've listened to 3 of these - a decent interval between each in the belief there might be some improvement, but no. A bunch of people whose knowledge of the musicals they talk (or shout) about is generally less than zero ("Wait, there's a movie? Let's talk about that instead!"). Not even the most basic research, while in the episodes I listened to the existence of female cast members in the shows being shouted about seem to have passed the 'gang' by, contributing to the underlying misogyny present throughout. In short, appalling.

The hosts spend the majority of their time tearing apart a relatively harmless show, then contradicting their own opinions (criticising it for not changing the plot, then criticising it for changing things unnecessarily). They read positive reviews in a condecending way before writing them off as having no standards. Really not enjoyable and unnecessarily cruel.
