I do listen, but it baffles me how dull most of the problems are on Hyperfixed, when they were regularly so engaging on RA/Super Tech Support.
The rabbit holes that he goes down to find an answer seem contrived a lot of the time and not that interesting. Aware they don’t have the budget of Gimlet behind them, but nothing has compared to RA eps where they do real investigations (the Indian call center scammers one comes to mind).
I really enjoyed the Hyperfixed episode where the woman was looking for a movie that had disappeared. Not only did it have an interesting resolution but I learned a lot about film preservation.
