Aside from Joe Rogan (who's gone a bit barmy) I have no problem getting rss feeds for everything I want...


Barmy? I've not listened since his move to Spotify. What's happened?


People have been saying this every year for half a decade now. But it's the same podcast as it ever was.

Eric Weinstein was fantastic, Freddie Gibbs and Brian Moses were hilarious, Tim Dillion was the exact amount of ridiculous you'd expect. Then there's the episodes with professors like Brian Greene and Avi Loeb, and then fighters like GSP and Dan Gable. Nothing has changed except the platform.


The Spotify move sort of coincided with him moving from LA to Austin. After that move he's not been getting many interesting guests.

Lately it feels like it's been a 45/45/10 mix of (to me) uninteresting comedians, uninteresting martial arts personalities and misc. Sometimes there's someone interesting in the misc category.


I see. Perhaps COVID has impacted quality guests from travelling, and poorer quality guests are more willing to travel. Just a guess.


Yeah, seems like it.


He's been pretty far along the "Covid isn't a real problem", "I'm not getting vaccinated", you can treat it with honey and mustard and HydroChloroquine arc...
