The Why Files: Operation Podcast Review

This is my 62nd podcast. It is currently ranked 55. The episode I listened to was released April 20. It was titled, "Basement: Daniel Whiteson. CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door." After listening to the last podcast it was somewhat refreshing to listen to people talking who have some brain cells. Whiteson is a researcher on CERN's Large Hadron Collider. They have a machine that smashes protons together every 24 nanoseconds. They are looking for when a different than expected outcome happens from colliding protons. They talked a bunch about aliens and if they met us how we could learn from each other. Whiteson talked about a book he is writing where there are dark matter aliens who are already here but we don't know it. Whiteson is into philosophy and he says more scientists should consider philosophy as there are a lot of interesting scientific philosophical questions. I give this show a 4/5 for the interesting conversation. I minus one point for the host sincerely believing that we live in a simulation. I just think that has to be one of the least plausible explanations for things.

2 Bears 1 Cave Review

This is my 61st podcast. It is currently ranked number 46. I listened to an episode released April 20 titled, "The End is Here w/ Ari Shaffir." Another "comedy" podcast. This podcast was pro-alcohol and pro-drugs. He criticizes people who oppose it saying they really haven't experienced life and are missing out on so many experiences. Meanwhile he describes entire days and nights of doing nothing but drinking. He thinks drinking is the only experience of life and therefore those who don't do it are missing out. I bet this guy cannot comprehend the joy of a sober day of hiking. They also mentioned some event they were hosting saying Christians, Jews, and conservatives will be there. I think people like this are more influential on so-called Christians, the political type, than Jesus or anything written in the Bible. I give this 0/5 for being ridiculous and bad for the country.

TruRed Crime Review

This is my 60th podcast. This is currently out of Spotify's top 100 podcasts. I listened to an episode released April 20. The title of the episode is 15 Year Old Graped In the Playground." This podcast was mostly just playing police interviews with the suspect. I started off thinking I would like this podcast because I think it is important to tell crime stories. I thought this podcast was terrible. I learned very little context of the crime. I think the host should have given some background information. I give this 1/5 for telling the story with no context. It gets 1 point because I like listening to crime interviews but it was hard to understand the crime.

The Basement Yard Review

This is my 59th podcast. It is currently 45. I have been behind on this blog so trying to do some catch up. The episode I listened to was from April 20. It is titled, "Mr. Gabagool is Here." This is one of them comedy podcasts. One of the hosts shared a story about a woman on a plane who asked him if he was Mr. Gabagool. He was confused by this. She identified him as having a podcast but he wasn't sure where she got the name from. This podcast had too much profanity as unfunny people use profanity so others will laugh at unfunny things. I give it 1/5.
