early days of this podcast were engaging, now it is creatively run by obviously 2nd and 3rd tier talent. has become knee jerk and and filled with progressive agitprop, funded by tons of mainstream advertising

First seasons were amazing, content is now still mostly good but drowning in ads, and feed is full of plugs for other podcasts. Final straw is a Paid Partnership with T Mobile!? Jesus, now it's just an infomercial show

season 1 was interesting, season 2 much less. My breakpoint was when instead of a podcast, I got a country music station.

Lately it feels like Malcolm Gladwell has sold out. I used to be intrigued but what was the Cadillac episode about? Please bring back the factual, interesting and fascinating analysis of historic records and their accuracy.

Great content in the first season or two, but latest episodes are hit or miss, more randome one-offs, not as insightful, and more of Malcolm tooting his own horn.

Started off with an interesting premise, but the seasons are getting worse as time goes on. The Little Mermaid rewrite was a complete embarrassment, I can't believe that he and so many talented people would put their name behind such crap.

The uncritical credulous fawning in the beginning of the Waymo episode finally made me realize I was wasting time with this show. This guy is supposed to think critically and falls for the techno hype? Whatever. I've got better things to do

Season 1 was great but now Mr. Gladwell has run out of ideas. Now each episode is less interesting than the previous one. To add insult injury of the listeners, he has significantly increased advertisements. I am now unsubscribing

Malcolm Gladwell, Mr "Who needs facts when you can just virtue signal?"
