Funny and informative but sometimes cringy

It’s fun hearing random articles from wiki that you’d normally wouldn’t happen across. The blind reading aspect makes for some pronunciation attempts that are mutually hilarious for the hosts and the listeners. Rachel is delightful and Victor is insightful. However Victor has a tendency to be awfully dismissive, bordering on rude, to Rachel, hence the cringe.

Fun podcast

I enjoy this podcast. The hosts read the articles at a relaxing pace, and their commentary is fun… although their voice acting skills could improve a lot. Has the podcast considered reading the Jonathan Blow article? He’s doing some highly innovative work… and has some spicy opinions haha.

Good idea, bad execution.

The idea of this podcast has a lot of potential but the way these hosts go about it leaves alot to be desired. They add nothing to the topic whatsoever; no thoughts or insights, just a dry read of a Wikipedia article in a tone of voice that sounds robotic and uninterested.
