Asiina posted:If I have to google the term the basic premise your show is based on after you spend a minute of ad time explaining it, it's not a good ad. They do "explain" it in the ad as "a cool thing" which is not useful information at all and doesn't really tell me what they or their guests will be talking about. they literally say it’s a cool/hot song or album and that every show they bring on a guest to talk about one, it could not be a more informative ad without reading you the Wikipedia page or something

Who What Now posted:Maybe the problem is that you can't seem to pick up on basic context, and not that the ad isn't dumb enough for you to get. I just listened to it again. "We should probably explain what a heat rock is." "It is a banger, a fire track-true fire." "Right, dope out." Then they say they'll bring on a guest to talk about their heat rocks and mention a writer, musician, or scholar. At the very end she says "hot music" very quickly but honestly by that point I was so confused by what they were even talking about. Honestly if you don't know that term, that is not a good explanation of what it is or what I should expect from the show.

Banger is supposed to be the key phrase telling you it's music there, but I honestly hadn't heard the term until Griffin started using it every time he talks about music a few months ago.

I’d like to see a Venn diagram of people that dislike the Heat Rocks ad because they find it bewildering and of people that are mad about representation in a podcast hosted by 3-4 straight white men from the same family.

Asiina posted:I just listened to it again. You're saying that your brain shut off and you temporarily lost comprehension because you heard a few phrases you weren't familiar with? That said some things you didn't understand, and then they said a thing you did understand, but the previous things had temporarily disabled your ability to understand anything. That's absurd.

You've never been focusing on trying to understand something you just heard that didn't make sense that you didn't actually take in the things that followed it? That has never happened to you? Because that's kinda how cognition works. You can only focus on so many things at a time and if you're thinking about something you can be not paying super close attention to your other senses. I don't understand why people are getting so defensive because I said "I don't know what this means and I think they did a bad job of explaining it."

It's a very real phenomenon. You can confuse someone and then they can't hear/see certain things.

Asiina posted:I just listened to it again. Man, if you don't know what a "fire track" is or, again, can't figure it out from context (hint, it's unlikely they're talking about a good time in the 100 meter dash) then podcasts as a concept might be a bit advanced for you. Like, it's an ad for a music podcast, not an ancient, alien puzzle box.

Some people aren't up on the cool music lingo the kids use these days. I don't think there's a need to insult me for not knowing slang. If their explanation wasn't enough for me then it's probably not a podcast I will enjoy since obviously they are using terms that are familiar to people who are into that and probably will throughout the podcast, but that has nothing to do with someone's intelligence.

It's not about intelligence, just basic social awareness. These terms aren't obscure.

No, you're an idiot because you've been complaining about it here for two pages instead of looking it up or going 'guess it's not for me'. Which says you didn't actually want to know what it meant, as it was explained to you here immediately, you just wanted to birch about it. And nobody cares that this one podcast doesn't interest you.

There's a lemon in my fridge right now. I could eat that delicious lemon. Do podcast people just never leave their houses?

People that listen to podcasts are more often then not middle-class/ upper-middle-class young white people, and their parents usually did not teach them things like "how to cook" or "how to laundry".

I actually used Blue Apron, and if you look away from its being way, way too expensive, the ingredients are high-quality and every supper we made from them was wonderful. I actually bought Blue Apron for my parents, who are 83 and have been foodies all their lives, but are finding shopping and planning very difficult nowadays. They adored it until they figured out how much it cost and made us cancel. I got two free meals for paying for Mom and Dad's subscription, and was impressed. That said, no, I wouldn't have paid for them under any other circumstances.

Yeah, Blue Apron's main problem is that I can get equally good if not better food as takeout for the same price, except I get to choose specifically what I want to eat and get a friendly underpaid member of the working class to cook it for me. Also my local grocery store is offering Blue-Apron-equivalent boxes for $5 less per dish and it's not a subscription service that takes a loving executive order from the president himself to cancel.
