I appreciate the random tech information. But….Like, can we Like…stop Like….saying Like…Like so many Like….blasted times??!! Sorry, Valley Girl. It is very annoying and dumbs down the Like…podcast. Fur Reel!!
… please don’t call it a red box of lasers. We have enough problem with yahoos in Congress and space lasers. Artificial star has a much better ring to it. Keep up the wonderful work.
I enjoy the content of the Debrief. Great reporting but this show sounds like it’s hosted by high schoolers. I feel like the great stories are buried under Star Trek references and random sci-fi tropes that I’ve heard a thousand times before.
Total admit that it could be my age (40’s) and I’m not the demographic for the show - which is just fine.
I love every moment of this podcast, especially when Gerk talks. It’s super informative. I especially love it when they discuss UFOs 🛸
Great podcast
