Must be from a previous narrative . <| sep |> Standing in the middle of a sidewalk . <| sep |> have a lot more time to prepare everythingThat ' s no excuse . He only rarely releases episodes , he could spend weeks writing a script and following it , he doesn ' t . Given how popular his podcasts are , he should be making decent money at it , he could hire writers and researchers . But he doesn ' t , that ' s not his style . His style is not to prepare , but to ramble instead . Fair enough . I ' m sure some people like the rambling style , maybe it feels more like a conversation . but it ' s a onesided conversation , and one where I personally disagree with a lot of the things the other person says . There ' s no question he does a lot of research , but it ' s also clear that he isn ' t willing to let the facts get in the way of a good narrative . I prefer to listen to podcasts where they take the time to do that preparation . When they ' re talking about controversial facts , I prefer to know about the controversy . When the tone is conversational , I like it when there are two or more people conversing , instead of just one person rambling . In the end , I like rambling story telling , but only when it ' s stories . I don ' t mind a conversational tone , but prefer it when it ' s an actual conversation between multiple people , not just one person . When someone ' s presenting facts , I prefer that the facts be accurate . I guess Hardcore History hits an antisweetspot for me .
