Customer Reviews
Fascinating Podcast About Unexpected Topics
I’m frequently surprised by the topics covered on 99% Invisible. When I tell others about the podcast, they think I must be making these things up, but I’m not that creative (“ray cats” really? Who would make that up?). Keep surprising us!
Always interesting
The topics are always interesting.
I learn something new with every episode.
I could listen to Roman’s voice for hours on end.
Whoops
Really enjoyed 99% Invisible until the recent episode on the COVID-19 memorial. That clip from the Republican about how a memorial should stand for people who were “forced to take a vaccine that didn’t work” made me stop the episode and delete it immediately. Why play that clip? Why give a platform to stupid, ignorant bigots? Stop legitimizing idiocy and we may just be better prepared for the next pandemic. Don’t give these science deniers a platform. A podcast about design and intelligence should know better.
Further, inviting an antisemite like AOC onto the program further undermines its credibility. Didn’t even listen to the hate-garbage that likely spewed from that episode.
