Nothing about he should quit. I really liked the podcast at the start, I'm just bored of it now You know, lots of people listen to lots of podcasts, radio shows and tv shows. We stop listening/watching all the time. People get bored of stuff. Don't take it personal. I just checked Blindboys twitter. When I listened he insisted he didn't read reviews of his stuff, especially good reviews as it effects how you write. Pinned tweet is a gushingly good review of his book. 5th tweet down is him forwarding an article from The Sun about how good the rubber bandits and in particular Blindboy is. He's talented, but as a lot of people say, a bit up his own arse.

Interesting to see a good few saying the same - for months now. I do respect a lot of what he says and talks about but the format of him on his own with a sock over a microphone does not warrant an hour as often as he thinks it does. He might have enough financial backing to **** the begrudgers he doesn't read about, but sure kunts will be kunts Yurt

Gave it another go lately and then minutes in he goes on and says something ridiculous and I just turn it off. I See a new one out today about emotions and I just couldn't listen to it if I wanted to. Part of me wishes he'd stop everything and go back to doing skits with Chrome.

I'd tuned out at Spike Lee because I found that interview so hopelessly fawning, and I felt Bb sounded a little deluded in thinking he was opening Spike Lee's eyes to what's really going on. Anyway, although I'm about 2 decades too old, and the wrong gender, I tried to listen to the ep on Edward Bernays but Bb did his usual thing of being hazy on the facts (he kinda thought Bernays was born in 1900 - even though he worked for the US president during WW I... which ended in 1918) that I ended up switching off. I get that he's introducing young men to emotional honesty and being open about mental health, and he deserves accolades for that, but these rambling monologues about topics that can easily be researched do him no favours.

Sure the facts are a little hazy, but realistically, when would the average listener research such a topic? Likewise, his recent pod on the development of US-Japan relations (and eventual effects on Japanese electronics) was hazy and hot-takey but it's all stuff I knew nothing about and would never ever have researched! Excellent listening on the whole.
Cienciano wrote: » Well, if the facts are a little hazy it's pointless to listen to it imho. The average listener wouldn't research it, that's blindboys job if he's going to talk about it.
Arghus wrote: » I dunno, he's not too shy about speaking his mind in the public sphere about a variety of subjects and he seems happy enough for people to take what he has to say seriously when he wants, so it's a bit convenient for him that he can pick and choose when he wants to be taken seriously.
troyzer wrote: » To be fair, he clearly starts and ends his hot takes with a disclaimer that it's a hot take and he could be talking bollocks
Goodshape wrote: » Fair enough if you think it's pointless but I must have missed the part where he claimed to be a qualified historian, psychotherapist, or anything other than a creative eejit from Limerick doing entertaining hot takes with a bag on his face. Was that before or after the many many times he's said not to take his waffle too seriously and that he only speaks from his own experience? You don't have to like it but it is Blindboy Boatclub, not Hardcore History or whatever.
