Two Hot Takes

I work in a cooler at a gas station stocking drinks all day so I rotate podcasts frequently to keep me entertained throughout my shift. One thing that makes this podcasts stick out is the lengths! Other podcasts that I indulge in are really only an hour long, where here I can listen to one episode for 2+ hours and stay entertained! I love the host’s personality, and the people she brings on. I’ve always been one for Reddit stories so to have a podcast dedicated to Reddit stories is a really fun idea and keeps me going all day!!

I really like this podcast but the responses they give to each story are wayyyyyyyyy too long.

Such a great concept for a podcast/show, loved it at first but omg they go off topic so much and for so long! It gets boring after a while. Usually the first 7 minutes is just rambling instead of just getting to it.

If I wanted to read Reddit posts, I’d go to Reddit. What really makes this podcast special is Morgan and her family of friends and the amazing people she brings on, and hearing these stories is one thing but really going into them with an open mind it’s the easy. I love how Morgan and her team hit so many points and try to see every angle. As someone with very biased opinions I feel like I’ve been learning how to keep my mind open and have compassion for people who I would usually judge. I hate when people emotion-shame, especially when it’s a risk to put yourself in the public spotlight. (Specifically referring to the people being disrespectful about the plushie episode, you can’t tell someone what is worthy of tears and what isn’t, it makes you seem heartless.) I’m so proud of Morgan. I’m always crying when she cries and that’s because people with very deep empathy see someone going through something that they’ve struggled with, it’s very overwhelming and it’s healthy to make sure you don’t just hold that in. If you want a podcast where people are brutal and cold and unkind then this isn’t it. The THT squad will give so much support and kindness until there’s a genuine reason to call someone out and I love it. I listen while I’m driving, while I’m at work cleaning, when I’m walking my dog, when I do the dishes, basically any time I want something intriguing and comforting. This is my favorite podcast and to Morgan, Alejandra, Lauren, Justin, and everyone else who is brave enough to speak on this podcast, I love spending my time with you and it’s been a huge comfort to know that when people in my life are being hateful I have something to take my mind off it. I’m working my way through every episode and loving every second of it, thanks so much!
