6. Your personal notes What I like from the podcast, What I don't like...., and What I
appreciate…

What I like from the podcast is how he delivers the podcast, because he is a stand up
comedian so he added some jokes in the material so that the podcast doesn’t make the
audience like me not boring. An example of a joke in that podcast is when he presented a
recording of someone saying that the U.S war in Afghanistan for 20 years cost 300
million dollars per day, then he said “that with that kind of money America can make a
new fast and furious movie every day for 20 years and we could be offered by fast and
furious 7000 by now.”.
Besides that, what makes me like this podcast is his argument and opinion about the topic
like “at least we can consider another war. It's never forget, that it might not make
anybody feel safe and never forget that there are innocent people on the other side.”.

What I don’t like in this podcast is when he talks too fast. I can’t recognize the word he
said so I need to repeat that over and over until I know what he said.

What I appreciate is how he adds some recordings from people’s interviews who make
great podcast topics and makes this podcast show some of the perspectives on the topic.
