- LarsDu88 3y agoThat website still exists? I haven't used it in over 20 years!
- spamuel 3y agoI remember their podcast back about 15 years ago. It was just two dudes reading wikipedia articles aloud, with commentary. This isn't an exaggeration.
- kholdstayr 3y agoThe podcast is still going strong actually
- toader 3y agoThis isn't true.They research the topics and reference articles written by staff writers (now disappointingly partially AI). Yes, they add humorous banter but I've found most of their content to be well researched, informative and entertaining.
- wrink 3y agoThat doesn't sound so bad to me...I mean, so long as the there is chemistry in the banter and the commentary is not grating
- _xerces_ 3y agoI think it got bought out a long time ago and the articles are filled with tons of crappy ads and split over multiple pages. Nothing like it was when Marshall founded it. I still have the book they put out way back when too!
- seeknotfind 3y agoThe sad thing is, these places may be more competitive, even if the quality is lower.
