The Franklin series he did before the podcast, discussing urbanism while playing Cities Skylines, is that. He's engaging but it's like Drachinifel. An expert speaks in monotone without any kind of incentive to dumb it down or explain something further in the episode. I like the idea of pairing him with a humanities graduate and someone else who also knows the subject material but isn't concentrated on a script. They just haven't nailed meshing their personalities and roles yet. It's like Chapo's early episodes when they were just three shitposters and an organiser. Better than the few few episodes and their pacing has improved a lot, but I think there's a sweet spot between them that they'll hopefully find.
Can't wait for 1 and a half hours of Alice saying bad jokes from Twitter and a half hour of Justin managing to be funny and engaging by himself.
Seriously if the podcast were just Justin talking for a half hour it would be immensely better.
:brace-cowboy: No it is a good podcast
