    Short but it’s all in The Detail
    Current issues in shorter form of 20-25mins but explored in detail. This timeframe is doing the job of getting behind the headlines, and into the details from multiple perspectives from people who know what their talking about. - No Joe Rogan here; without going for the long form 1-2 hour epic. The how vaccine boosters work episode was brilliant at distilling that complex science into something I felt more knowledgeable about after 20min.

    Disappointed in their approach to porn
    Normally I really like the Detail, but today’s episode on pornography was very disappointing. The host’s sensationalization of porn-“it makes me squeamish, it’s a terrible thing”- just further entrenches the idea that we shouldn’t talk about sex. It was a very tone deaf, outdated approach. At least the guests were good.
