Pagan-Musings Podcast Channel

So I only ever listen when Taylor Ellwood is hosting because of my interest in Pop Culture Paganism and his discussions usually feature those topics. Unfortunately, it can be hard to get through an interview because the sound quality is barely listenable and Taylor can be bad about letting the conversation die. Hopefully he'll get better at guiding conversations in the future. I would also please ask that the hosts talk to interviewees before hand and stress that they remove extraneous sound. I hate when I can hear someone's chair or floorboards creaking in the background since I usually listen with earbuds while I'm listening. More than once, I've had to cut an episode short because it was so bad.

I rather listen to them, then to others podcast out there that tend to sugarcoat everything. Or worse try to sweep all current events under. I been listening to them since March 2017 .

I wanted to like this as being a Pagan in the South is particularly isolating. I ended the episode halfway through from boredom. Talked about Pagan Pride with no direction at all. Felt like I was listening to my aunts rambling at a family reunion.

I started with the 2013 episodes posted on iTunes and, to be honest, they were awful, even putting aside the very poor sound quality. Although the episodes have a topic in the title, there does not seem to be any ordered agenda or prepared discussion topics to keep the hosts on track. The result is about 10% of the show on average touches on pagan subjects but most often the discussion thread goes off topic, into personal lives or random events, into the weeds and stays in the weeds. Far too many one word responses ("Ya", "Yeah", "Hmm-hmph") followed by pregnant pauses. Little or no engaging, back-and-forth dialogue. I jumped forward to the last episode of 2015 to see if they improved, but, it was unchanged. I do appreciate the time and effort that the hosts put into the podcast, but, it is just painful listening and little content.
