    IMO there was nothing good on Wondery except The Great Courses. And those are hot or miss. Did anyone have a different experience?

      I liked some of their audio dramas like Blood Ties and The Last City and that one Wolverine one I think? but I was never concerned about listening the minute it dropped so I was fine waiting until they were freely available on every other podcasting platform.

      Seems like Wondery+ was aimed at the FOMO people or hardcore podcast consumers which apparently must not be a large enough crowd to keep the lights on. At least it seems like everything will move to Audible so nobody's out of a job.

      I also was unaware until this moment that Wondery was an Amazon thing, so I'm equally glad I never bought into it
