The Majority Report with Sam Seder

Can’t someone edit out Sam’s filler words? They’re so distracting to the point where I couldn’t listen more than a few minutes. It’s so bad! Maybe all Sam needs is a speech coach, or a hypnotist?! Or maybe Sam needs to listen to an episode himself, and keep a tally himself, so he knows how much he’s bringing down the show with his non word fartathon every time he speaks?

I came to this podcast because I loved hearing Emma on other podcasts that I listen to. Unfortunately, I can’t listen to this one because Sam Seder says a drawn out “uhhh” in between what seems like every other word, and it’s so unbelievably distracting. I can’t focus on the actual points he’s making because of this, which is a shame because I do think the content itself being presented is very important. I just don’t think this format is fitting for someone who uses filler words so frequently. I know this is the type of thing that makes podcasters get defensive, and obviously they still have plenty of listeners so I doubt this will be addressed, but the fact is that presentation is still important, so with an audio format, you would think a goal would be to reduce or eliminate all of this excessive noise in his speech.

Hugely campist, hyper focused on American exceptionalism, but with a minus sign. Questionable guests and questionable analysis.

Awesome show, thank you!
