Love the format and hosts. Hate the”research gods” choice

The bit size format is different and I love the different categories and the friendly banter from Ash and Alaina! Love love love! I just wish we didn’t call the researchers “research gods”. It makes me cringe! Also, I love when Ash and Alaina share their own opinions from the list and point out when very notorious names are missing from the researchers’ list. You go girls!

Pretty good, but I won't be following to Spotify

I'm peeved that this podcast is moving to Spotify, but not upset enough to follow them over there when I hate the way Spotify sets up podcasts.

The only reason I don't give it 5 stars? Calling the parcast folks "research gods." I know it's in the script, but it's so cheesy and dumb.

Boo Spotify

I hate that some of my favorite podcasts are moving to Spotify only. It’s aggravating. Morbid better stay on iTunes or I’m starting a riot. I mean it.
