Robinson's Podcast

Focus is a superpower. Thank you for showing respect to your guests with your undivided attention. Your podcast is a gift.

This podcast was once a unique place that one could hear academic philosophy discussed in depth with experts. Now it seems to be one of several dozen other podcasts that covers politics. It’s not necessarily bad, it just seems to be losing some of what made it special.

You lost me with all the political episodes. It’s not about the episodes it about how you approach it. You do not interact with your guest, you just provide a platform for contentious views. There is no conversation, just strange opinionated monologue. This leads to a perception of your support for terrible views, even if that is not how you vote. Your interview style has also degraded. Your speaking style has always been hard to listen to but it has gotten worse. A constant robotic cadence coupled with stringing together way too many questions into one, is unusual, friction filled and none consumable. If you care about the future of the world. Act like you do. Because providing a platform for views is directly providing support, regardless of how you rationalize it.

I am all for free speech and various opinions—but ideologs that repeat clear falsehoods on a philosophy podcast—I came for the physics but I am unsubscribing because of the politics.
