Two Hot Takes

Found through TikTok, and out of every Reddit storyteller, morgan has to be the best. Compelling, relatable, and the stories they pick are always juicy. Can’t stop listening!!

overall a fun podcast to pass the time especially on long drives but two things: first, they go off topic A LOT sometimes it adds to the reddit story and sometimes it doesn’t. Second, the ones i choose to listen to are heavily based on the co-host. Almost all guests are great and her two girl friends that are regulars are my favorites (i believe it’s lauren and alejandra)! so if it’s not them i don’t listen which unfortunately they go missing for good stretches EDIT: I had to take a star away because the more I listen the more I realize these are not “HOT” takes. IMO there should be more of a debate, stories with some grey areas rather than stories where almost everyone can agree on who is in the wrong.

I love the format and theme of the podcast and enjoy listening to the stories and the comments. I don’t want to go on too much of a rant but I would love to join in with the requests to cut waaay down on the commentary and personal anecdotes. EDIT: I had to take away another star because the commentary has gotten even worse. The hosts get up on a soapbox for every story and turn every story into a condescending lecture disguised as a “hot take”. It is not a hot take to disagree with emotionally abusive boyfriends or someone stealing or lying. They will read a story with the most obvious “AH” and then repeat themselves for 30 mins in the discussion trying to give advice.

I work in a cooler at a gas station stocking drinks all day so I rotate podcasts frequently to keep me entertained throughout my shift. One thing that makes this podcasts stick out is the lengths! Other podcasts that I indulge in are really only an hour long, where here I can listen to one episode for 2+ hours and stay entertained! I love the host’s personality, and the people she brings on. I’ve always been one for Reddit stories so to have a podcast dedicated to Reddit stories is a really fun idea and keeps me going all day!!
