But at the beginning of the podcast the hosts were joking about the incident saying something like “people died because they had too much football”. This kind of misanthropy rubs me the wrong way. I didn’t listen to the show after that.

I remember an old episode where they discussed the Grenfell Tower fire, and Alice did this thing where she didn't want to joke the tragedy. It's like, that didn't stop you or the rest of the podcast from flippantly treating other tragedies, but when a particular tragedy hits too close home, suddenly it's a bridge too far to joke about this particular tragedy.
