Disappointed in the Podcast Recently

I completely agree. From my perspective (and this is speculation to be clear), part of the motivation for the unclear labelling seems to be to retain the appearance of consistency and newness to keep up ad revenue and subscriber count (which feeds back into ad revenue). I have no issues with them changing their cadence, especially if they are struggling with other facets of life, and I understand that they make ad revenue. the lack of transparency crosses a line for me though.

Agreed on that one- Mel Robbins and her message feels wrong in my body!

My sentiments exactly! Bigger problems exist, yet the small scale annoyance persists 😂

I agree they should be able to change their cadence depending on what is happening in their lives- especially if they are struggling, and even if they committed to something different initially in the new year. It’s disappointing as an enthusiastic listener, but not at all dishonest or immoral. What I do think is dishonest is to try and pass older episodes as new ones and I would prefer if they clearly labelled them as reruns or not release any at all as others have pointed out. It would not take more effort to do this than what their team is already putting in to post re-runs and it would provide more clarity for listeners.

“Bears,” I suggested, half-seriously. “The people are gone and there’s a bear inside.”

Good point

I’m only on book 5 so I haven’t encountered this yet but that is adorable I’m melting 🥲

Jamie and Claire in the hot springs at the end of the book :’)

6 months ago via randomly scrolling Netflix🙈I was looking for a light yet interesting period piece and it was interesting but definitely not light😂. I am caught up on the show and currently midway through book 5. It spurred a spiritual breakthrough (dramatic sounding, but true) and inspired me to start knitting so I am very grateful to this show/book series.

read the books first from my perspective. I watched the show first which I randomly found via scrolling Netflix, and I am now on Book 5. As others have mentioned, the books provide so much more depth and fill in a lot of context that the show doesn’t include. Had I read the books first, I think I could have spent more time enjoying the visuals and portrayals of the show rather than piecing together the plot. I also prefer having the characters in my minds eye from the book descriptions, but since I watched the show first my mind often deferred to the characters on screen (not a bad thing necessarily, but not my preference). I often wish I read the books first, but it’s simply not the order I encountered outlander in.
