Popular Reviews of This Machine Kills

I genuinely wish I could give this a higher rating, because everyone involved in this podcast is knowledgeable and clearly researches every topic extensively but this entire show is pretty much just Jathan monologuing for an hour. Even when there's a really interesting guest, it's not a conversation. Jathan takes 20 minutes to ask a question because he goes off rambling about something and then the guest gets a brief period to talk. I heard Ed on Better Offline and he was great! I literally only found this pod because he mentioned it on Better Offline and I liked him so much. But he's barely on this podcast. I mean, I'm sure he's physically present, but he doesn't really get an opportunity to talk because Jathan monopolizes all the air time. And don't get me wrong, Jathan knows his shit and is an interesting guy, but why bother even having guests and a co-host if we never get to hear them talk?
