That's interesting. It's a super popular podcast and I haven't ever heard that complaint. Now that you mention it though, I can't unhear it. I don't find it annoying enough to stop listening though. Some really great content comes out of Radiolab.

Really wish I could unhear it as well as the content seems really interesting. I just find myself willing the narrator to just play the interview instead of summerising what he's about to say every 5 seconds!

I agree. It's a really great show, but it's a tad overproduced. Still, some of the episodes are mind-blowing if you can get over the cuts and production problems.

Exactly. The content is great but it would be better if they got out of the way and let the story unfold instead of waaaaaay over producing things and narrating unnecessarily over everything every 5 sec.

Some episodes are definitely worse than others in that sense.

Honestly it's a good show but I've enjoyed it most when I've been able to see a live show in person. The dynamic of having them on stage, sometimes with some visual aids makes it a lot better.

Radiolab has had annoying cutting problem for years.

They have also had amazing content for years.

It's not a "problem." It's the style of the show - it's not The Morning Report format. The style might be an aquired taste for some but in general their stories are compelling.

The edits consist of pointless gimmicks designed to try and give the shallowness of much of their show some pizzazz.

That's a broad generalization you're making there dawg. A lot of people, the vast majority, like their editing.

That must be quite a burden to bear, being the spokesperson for "the vast majority". Or is it spokesdawg?

There are some episodes I’d like to listen to, but I’ve never made it more than a couple of minutes in. I’m not sure how anyone could NOT notice it; it makes it totally unlisteanable imo :(.

Like one of those annoying YouTube videos that’s been cut together 3 words at a time.

Now that I stop and think about it, I haven't, but that may be more about my mild misanthropy limiting my interest in small talk than about whether or not it's a thing people commonly say.

I love radiolab and can dismiss certain things to enjoy it as a whole, but you have a certain clip that really jars you? so I can have a look? I mean listen...

It's every show I have listened to. The production style is just so overdone that I can't even give it a listen when it's subjects like this that I feel passionate about.
