Let that be a warning to anyone who gets excited about this podcast! Wow it stinks. It's like the creators were trying to replicate a Dragonball series of cliffhangers without any substance.
In that way it is good. A tremendous demonstration of how the tiniest bit of information (Many kids benefit from phonics) can be stretched into hours and hours and hours of content through some emotional manipulation.
Yeah, I just read the "transcripts". I guess I missed a lot, because I suspect they're not transcripts, but single-sentence summaries.
I think presenting content as podcasts is lazy (and rude). To consume podcast content, I have to sit through the whole thing, because I can't skim or skip ahead. Of course, it saves the author's time - it's quicker for them to speak it than to write it; so they're trading their time for my time. That's why I say it's rude.
To be honest, the reason I'm reading the comments is in the hope of finding a proper summary.
Exactly me. Podcasts in particular are terrible because they are rarely edited at all.
If you listen to someone like Terry Gross there's an enormous amount of editing involved to make it sound like a natural conversation. Podcast world is the opposite.
