Customer Reviews
Interesting topic, but underwhelming
This podcast covers interesting topic - secretive organisation of high-IQ people. This could be covered in so many interesting ways! However, the result is underwhelming - basically, it’s just a 4-episode long rant about horrors of unmoderated Web forum (people say nasty things online - who would have thought?)
