If I thought I was mad about one of the last Hard Fork episodes, I'm madder now. The new Hard Fork stinks. Just four people quipping at each other. No depth, just chatter. I'm also mystified by someone in the YouTube comments who said they didn't listen to the old Hard Fork because there was too much shouting. The energetic openings of Hard Fork were very divisive. Are they going to shout "Welcome to MACHINE GODS!" on their new podcast? I think that will either be hilarious or... well, hilarious, I guess it can only be one thing, but different shades.
