Why I Hate Your Podcast: Recent Episodes
Crystal and Sean
Podcasts are awesome. Well, some podcasts are awesome. If you’re like us, you’ve curated your own cadre of podcasts to which you’ve subscribed, but you’re always on the hunt for more. But there are now a seemingly endless supply of podcasts. How do you find ones that you’ll like? Ask your Facebook group of working moms or knitting enthusiasts? Listen to those horrible I Heart Radio ads that make all of their podcasts sound like a hot mess? We decided to embark on a monumental journey to listen to all the podcasts. Okay, not really. But a lot of them. And share with you why we hated them (or not).
Once again we find ourselves diving into the ever-growing, ever-popular celebrity podcast genre. First, we check out Gwyneth Paltrow’s podcast associated with her weird Goop...universe? And we let hosts Ryan and Armin guide us through the latest celebrity gossip. This episode was….surprising!
Editing Note: After the recording of this episode, I was able to find more info on the hosts of Hollyshook so I've included their links in the show notes below.

Where have we been? What's up with the podcast? When will regularly scheduled episodes resume? Short answer: Busy season at work (pesky day jobs) and not enough pre-planning to get through it without a hiatus. New episodes resume on 7/5 with a new schedule (bi-weekly with the occasional 'extra' episode), and some very minor format tweaks. For details and some rambling, enjoy this mini-episode/update/whatever you want to call it.
This week we are tackling two podcasts from a genre we haven’t yet explored: the watch-along (or rewatch) podcast genre. But these are two very different examples of the genre.

This week is a test of Crystal’s tolerance for political podcasts. We check out The Young Turks and Podcast of the Lotus Eaters. Politics, politics, politics. The good, the bad, and the really unpleasant.

This week we check out two podcasts that take a look back at disasters and mistakes with two very different approaches.
This week, we investigate what is arguably the most popular true crime podcast and dive into the world of literal “fake news” with the podcast from a popular satire news publication.

This week is all about learning stuff. First, a podcast from big-brain mathematician Eric Weinstein where he interviews his big brain friends and colleagues. Then we check out what is arguably one of the most popular podcasts and the world and is definitely the most popular podcast about design.

Attention fellow NASA nerds: This week we discuss a podcast series about Apollo 13 that you’ve probably never heard of. And then we get to experience the smooth baritone of Mike Rowe in our ears, courtesy of his short stories podcast, The Way I Heard It.

On this week’s episode we are reviewing History on Fire from host Daniele Bolelli and Sex with Emily featuring Dr. Emily Morse. A podcast about epic moments in history and a podcast about epic sex (among other things). And yes, that was a stretch. These two don’t have anything in common.

In a true test of Sean’s tolerance for bantering podcast hosts, we picked two podcasts that thrive on banter about very different subjects. So prepare for some wholesomeness and some murder because we’re bringing you both this week. Big thanks to the listener who suggested one of this week’s episodes!

Spoon of the Week
Crystal’s Curated Unmade Podcast listening list:
I think the podcast benefits from a full binge listen, but barring that here is a list of episodes to get you caught up on the bulk of the in-jokes:
Ep 4: An Awkward Hot Chocolate (in which Tommyball makes its debut)
Ep 5: World Exclusive (first mention of the Sofa Shop)
Ep 27: Misunderstood (high quality episode example)
Ep 31: Unmade by Berkowitz (Sofa Shop takeover)
Ep 42: Jammin’ with Tim (the infamous Money For Nothing cover)
Special: The Inaugural Bean Dish Quiz (hilarious)
Exclusive: The Sofa Shop Interviews
The Sofa Shop Reunion (the peak of the Sofa Shop journey)
Other noteworthy in-joke explanations for The Unmade Podcast:
Tim and Brady’s infamous love of KFC
The Unmade Colonel - award given to rare fans/contributors/heroes of the podcast
Spoon of the Week - a weekly segment where Tim describes his selected souvenir spoon of the week from his father’s collection.
Tim’s dad was Dutch - this has been brought up enough that it’s now a running gag
The secret words - Tim’s daughters sometimes task him to use two words in the course of recording the episode. Tim almost always forgets until Brady reminds him at the end of the episode.

This week we do something a bit different and combine the review of our two podcasts. Still befuddled by one of last week's podcasts (Young and Hung) we decided to explore the other podcasts from those two hosts: Bob Menery and Griffin Johnson. Spoiler alert: We're still confused.
This week might feature our two most disparate podcasts covered in one episode. A podcast from a comedian and a tik-tok influencer that isn’t quite sure what it is, and a podcast that is VERY clear about what it is from The New York Times.

A podcast from a couple of evolutionary biologists discussing current events in both science and politics followed by a podcast about cryptids, UFOs, serial killers and other fun stuff. Both might sound scary, but listen to find out if we hated them or not.

A couple of podcasts about movies (and a bit more) this week. One from a film critic and a director, the other from two therapists. As movie buffs we had pretty high hopes going in to this one.....listen to find out how that worked out.
