jonquilyn hill, you do not need to over enunciate every hard syllable. Vox, please train your hosts to not sound irritating. It’s distracting from the good content.

I want to love the content of this show. There’s good information. And at some point the content does continue for a good block. But there are sections where you can’t go 10 seconds without hearing back to back, redundant sound bites. They are whacky and lengthy and feels like a cheap game show. Vox tends to take themselves seriously in their information so it feels dumbed down, or rather I feel like they are trying to dumb down to meet me. Going to talk about insomnia? Great! What’s the point in an immediate sound bite saying “All in your head man, it’s always in your head” followed by 3 seconds of zombie by the cranberries. It feels like the podcast equivalent of adding subway surfers to a tiktok video.

I just had to unfollow this podcast after the ethics of flying episode. Try finding guests who can get through a sentence without saying “like” twice. By the end of the episode, it had rubbed off on the host. My 13 year old daughter is more eloquent. I expected more from Vox.

Someone just posted that J.Hill over enunciates, I have listen to her on other podcasts. She sounds amazing. I love all of her podcasts. She brings a relaxed energy to things That could be boring. She is a great host. An amazing orator. I want to hear her host more podcast. Her voice and speech was made for radio/podcasts. God Bless!

First of all, I love any podcast with Jonquilyn Hill — she’s real, compassionate, and funny! I appreciate always hearing the warmth in her voice. Second, I love the work Vox does! And third, it’s just a fascinating show! Thank you for covering a wide variety of topics and doing so in an up-beat way!!

I really loved The Weeds, and the substantive policy conversation that used to take place on this channel. This is now at least the 3rd “Explain” themed podcast Vox puts out, at the expense of deeper more complex content. This pod is fine for background listening, but I’d like to see more variety in Vox’s offerings, especially for those of us who gravitate towards deeper, wonkier conversations.

Incredible how stark the contrast between EITM and its previous hosting lineup. Even down to the the structure, the ‘Bite Sized’ episode frontloads 7 full minutes of ads and hosts introducing each other before the episode. The content isn’t any more depth or perspective either, it listens like Wikipedia on easy english mode. No rapport between hosts and guests; it sounds more like a company memo than a show for an audience looking to learn and connect with the host’s interests.

I gave this a try from Sean Illing’s podcast. These kids are adorable, but hard to take them seriously.

This podcast is one of my favorites to listen to on my way to and from the office. Jonquilyn does a great job of tackling tough questions without bias. She also adds just the right amount of humor to lighten things up. If you’re the type of person who likes to understand the “why” behind things, subscribe! Plus, it’s really fun to call in questions & get them answered. I truly look forward to every episode.

I’ve enjoyed the show format and topics thus far. Looking forward to how a new president potentially impacts some of the show’s topics
