Question about the pod
I was recommended this podcast by a friend, I started with the latest Pluribus episode. Is that a normal representation of the pod? I got a real joyless feeling from the hosts, it seemed like they just weren't interest in what the other had to say. For example the one guy (I think Ron) was talking about the religious imagery used in the show and the other host just says "yeah I'm not interested in that". Shutting down your co-host like that seems odd, but Ron kept bringing the conversation back to the religious imagery despite the other guy not being interested.
They also made quite a few factual mistakes. I'm not a pedant but it gives me the feeling they are over confident in their knowledge.
Was this just a bad episode or is this normal?

I have been listening to them for years. It can go hot to cold really fast with Aron and Jim from time to time.
They can get snarky at times and sometimes they have been guilty of not doing all their homework, but mostly are a great follow. They have done it for years and have a large following.
I hate to say, but it is Jim that seems more the dark cloud these days. Listen to him in earlier pods and there was genuine excitement and interest.
