I've found the same, although I still remain subscribed. For me, their episode last year "Born This Way" was a low point of their reporting, but there have been a lot of others that I feel really miss the mark on scientific reporting, including the one on Zoozve which instead of spending time exploring the different ways multi-body orbital dynamics can produce interesting and non-intuitive effects, spent half the episode distracted by what was effectively "bro, wouldn't it be hilarious if we officially named it Zoozve? lol"

Maybe it's always been hit or miss but I remember the "old days" when I listened on the radio very engaged to the show while commuting and didn't have access to resources to instantly follow up and verify facts, and now I had to go after each episode to investigate further and ruin the experience myself or maybe I am over romanticizing a past that never existed. I think I wouldn't mind so much if the episodes were not so long no matter if they are good or bad in my judgement only, so the conundrum of having to screen each show didn't seem worth it for me. I agree with you on that low point, Lulu actively cheerleading the TedX speaker was distasteful at best, and it felt like Lulu was on every episode.
