Gonna gripe about some of my favorite podcasts. Always with the purple prose about KRASNOV "crashing" [View all]

Overall, these are the ones I like: Meidas Touch, Pakman, Secular Talk, Sisson, Legal AF/Popek, Luke Beasley, Majority Report/Seder, Cocchiarella, Keith Edwards, Adam Mockler.

The ones I look at most: Meidas, Beasley, Pakman, Edwards, Mockler. Less so, Seder, Popek, Sisson. Stopped Cocchiarella.

*** The gripe: Especially Meidas (my most go-to) is always running with the headlines about KRASNOV "crashing, coming apart, worst day ever, near death," etc. Meidas has tons of solid information, resulting in my tamping down attention to the purple prose. But the lead-up to the State of the Union was the worst: Granted that KRASNOV, in the days prior, was building up to meltdown stage, so it seemed credible that Meidas was predicting a complete clinical break coming.

My problem is, KRASNOV is the worst of the worst, but it's a known condition, can't be worse. So every time somebody says he's at a breaking point, there he comes to the camera and, despite being his obnoxious self, he talks almost in control. Big letdown.
