Like Radiolab, only different
Long time listener, love the show. The new host, Manoush, is a fantastic!
Horrible
Without Guy Raz as the host this podcast is horrible!!!!!!! Once was one of the best has turned into a new for of listening torcher.
What’s happened?
This used to be my favorite podcast. Now all I see is “listen again”. It’s hard to believe topics have run out? Sadly, this podcast has fallen to the bottom of my listening list and I’m stubbornly holding out hope the new host pulls it together before it dies completely.
