Description
Podcast Rodeo Show: Reviews and First Impressions of Your Podcast A podcast about the modern-day “cults” we all follow. Hosts Isa Medina and Amanda Montell ask the culty questions we’re all wondering... Do you think SoulCycle is a cult? What about Elon Musk stans? Or the Royal Family? What about spiritual influencers? Is Instagram itself a cult? We’re Sounds Like A Cult, a podcast that analyzes a different zeitgeisty group every week to try and answer the big question: This group sounds like a cult, but is it really? And if so, how bad is it?
What I Liked About This Episode
The intro using listener voices was different and it sets the stage of "Do I agree or disagree with these people?." I did like that once all the housekeeping was done, you got right to the point and answered the questions I was thinking.
What I Thought Could Use Some Polishing
Isa needs some mic technique training. Get a pop filter or windscreen. Three advertisements (4 if you count patreon) had me right on the edge of pressing next. In the end I wanted to hear more.

You seem to be having fun.
What I Thought Could Use Some Polishing
1. Buy a domain at www.coolerwebsites.com and if nothing else point it at your anchor page (better go to www.trypodpage.com and make a decent website with your domain).
2. Everybody gets a mic. Sharing a mic creates sub-par audio.
3. Know what you're going to say BEFORE you press the microphone.
4. Edit silly mistakes out of your show.

Fed Up
Description
When Emily Gellis hears rumors of people suffering horrible side effects from a trendy diet she springs into action. Armed with over a hundred thousand Instagram followers, Emily launches a social media crusade to expose F-Factor and its founder, Tanya Zuckerbrot. It’s the start of a feud that will attract trolls, lawyers, and, eventually, national media all because of fiber. From Wondery, this is a story about wealth, wellness, and influence narrated by Casey Wilson.

Quick Comment
I picked this episode as I know two people who said they were listening to it. This somewhat builds up expectations. After all, this is a WONDERY show, so I'm expecting this episode to knock me out of my chair (and that may not be fair).
What I Liked About This Episode
The production and soundscaping was off the charts.
What I Thought Could Use Some Polishing
The pace was a bit slow for me, and what are the stakes? So these two people hate each other, is there a cage match to the death? Why do I care about these people?
