This is really interesting information, but it’s just so scripted that it’s hard to listen to. I suggest letting it be more natural and less like an infomercial.

From the hosts presentational style to the dated muzak transitions it feel like the podcast equivalent of listening to an infomercial. The topics are interesting, but the reporting around them is so shallow it feels like the hosts are reading questions based of the bullet points in a press release. Episodes are short but feel like very long ads for Amazon or Alphabets cloud or data analytics services.

Personally, I don’t always associate brands with good podcasts—but Fix This is an exception to that. These episodes really connect you with the people AWS is talking to and the causes those people care about. You can tell how invested the speakers are in their respective missions, and the discussions around the technology are easy to understand regardless of your technical expertise level. It’s so cool (and frankly, reassuring) to see how these orgs are using tech to make the world a truly better place. I didn't think I’d respond emotionally to stories about tech, but the way they tell these human stories really hits home. If you’re interested in tech, sustainability, or the general conversations around humanity and its future, give this a listen!
