This week I bring you the Blissfully Ignorant Podcast, a show I found on podcastalley. At the time I’m writing this it is ranked 117. Certainly this is a respectable ranking when you consider that almost 40,000 podcasts are listed on podcastalley.

It is apparent from the banter between the hosts that they are college aged. (They are also dating) Even if there hadn’t been discussion of terms, you can tell by listening to them talk. Don’t mistake that for an insult, heck, it’s probably a good thing since the majority of podcast patrons are young. What I am saying is that for their age, the show is not bad. What would be interesting would be to listen to these two in a talk show five years from now when school is behind them and they have had some time in the world. A properly matured version of Max and Kryssa would make a very interesting listen.

One thing I would suggest to improve the show would be more scripting for Max. His voice is strong and clear, unfortunately it is littered with too many ‘uhs’. Kryssa has no ‘uh’ issues and as the show moves on she improves. At the beginning she was talking too fast and running words together but this was not a problem through the entire show.

The website (blissfullyignorantpodcast.com) is very simple. Most casual listeners could do without the main website and would find the blog page (blissfullyignorantpodcast.blogspot.com) more useful. This is where they list the links to all the stories and subjects discussed in the show. There is also the itunes link if you want to subscribe.

To conclude, I would recommend giving the show a listen. It will certainly appeal to a broad set of people. Besides, what does it hurt to try one new show? You can always unsubscribe. Again not making my list of subscriptions, but I repeat, this shouldn’t be taken as a non recommendation. After all, I only have so many hours in a day to listen to talk shows.
