We Love to Hate Everything

Always fun! Love you

Terrible.

I’ve been a loyal listener of We Love to Hate Everything for years, and I’ve always loved the hosts and the content, which is why this is so frustrating to say: the show has become really difficult to listen to. The ongoing audio issues are exhausting, but it’s not just the audio. The hosts frequently talk over each other, there’s noticeable tension in the dynamic, and recent episodes often feel unfocused. Jodie’s long tangents can completely derail the conversation, and Amanda often seems uncomfortable rather than engaged. The SW “deep dives” have also been hard to enjoy. They seem intended as comedy, but they’re often presented in a way that feels indistinguishable from fact. Without clearer framing, I worry that some listeners are taking speculation or bits as gospel. I say this as someone who genuinely loved the podcast: StreamYard is not the problem. The show needs better audio standards, clearer structure, and a more honest look at what is actually making the listening experience so strained. Amanda, I also want to say this directly because I usually appreciate your takes, but your Spencer Pratt comment really bothered me. “As a human being, terrible mayor probably. As a comedy bit? Gold” might feel funny from Calgary, but from inside the U.S., it lands very differently. We already did the “reality-TV villain running for office is hilarious” thing. That became Trump. That became MAGA. That became a permission structure for cruelty, unseriousness, grifting, and the degradation of public life.

Another uninformed political take from Amanda…. Girl, your CALGARY is showing.
