What TV show got so bad it effectively destroyed your appreciation for the show when it was was good?

It's really easy to just say you support trans folk, we're just asking you to put your money where your mouth is and not give it to one of the worst transphobes alive to show you mean it. If you can't even do that it's clear you just genuinely don't care about trans folk.

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

This episode was greatly improved by contributions (quotes) from @carriem.co.uk @argentology.bsky.social, and @martolliver.bsky.social The first part relies on the awesomeness of @chrisnelsonmmmmmm.bsky.social and @film-authority.bsky.social We can’t do this without YOUR input.

It would have been unpleasant! Stressful! Imagine how much of the time you’d spend clenched from the second hand embarrassment. He’s why Paul and I met. He’ll never know that, it would fan the flames of his god complex.

Noel Edmonds is never disappointing, and yet, always disappointing. He’s a conundrum wrapped in a riddle, sheathed in a rainbow sweater, shrouded in a beard.

COMING SOON Part two of our episode on separating the art from the artist, we’re calling it: ‘The elephant in the room’ As if we didn’t name a whole load of awful people in the first episode… we did! And we name even more in this one.

Carrie, I completely forgot to ask if it was ok to quote this exchange. Is it ok to quote this exchange in the second episode? We talk about a few people who responded to this question and this is part of it. Is that ok?

In an alternate universe, the So Delightful podcast would be investigating how you manage the cognitive dissonance of terrible music being made by awesome people.

All of the music cues are wrong-un adjacent, but George Gershwin is fine. Nice guy. Talented. However…when he got very sick his sister in law Leonore kicked him out to live in an empty apartment. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_... Her obituary is… interesting archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes....

It’s rabbit hole time again. We’re gathering some links so that those of you who want to learn even more facts about the subjects we’ve covered in the latest episode can do a deep dive. This one will come with a hefty trigger warning, none of this stuff is nice.

I think they were. We got 30 perfect seconds. We also had remixes! Poor Cornershop, an entire generation ticked off that you’re singing slowly and playing guitars.

Blue Oyster Cult? And you’re so right. Cults. Reapers. Fear. Oysters. You’re expecting death metal and you’re getting Lindsey Buckingham.

The teen introduced me to the concept of TikTok songs - where a 30 second section is insanely catchy or moving, but the rest is unlistenable. Feel free to assault your ears with Doechii’s ‘Anxiety’. If you’re at all online, you know it. If you lived through 2011, you *definitely* know it.

While we wait for the next episode to ‘drop’ (as the kids would say). Shall we play a game of ‘snippets of songs which promised the earth and delivered disappointment’? This was the teen’s face when I played ‘Spaceman’ by Babylon Zoo to them …

I’d slam the laptop shut and walk off but there’s a part two to do! This one’s *really* good Every episode emerges from the interviews we do. We never know what direction we’re going to go in. This one has a surprising amount of #wrestling in it! I’ve learned SO much about WWE and its fandom.

Realised last night that I knew next to nothing about Al Yankovic. What a brilliant and fascinating man he is

So Disappointed @sodisappointed.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
So many things I love about this man. His honesty. His integrity. His absolute respect for his wife and her talent. Yes

So Disappointed @sodisappointed.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
He does seem to be singularly focused on making the world better in big and small ways. Wonderful man! I did love the kids in The Assembly questioning him on his age gap relationship, though!

George and Dolly, we knew they were great and then that greatness unfolded and expanded after their deaths and we got to learn all the amazing things they did to make the world better.

So Disappointed @sodisappointed.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Strongly agree with this too. The moment the art is created and placed in front of any audience, it no longer belongs to you. They are going to read it and respond to it in entirely their own way.

So Disappointed @sodisappointed.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Absolutely, there cannot be a prescribed approach to this kind of situation. However, we’re interested in what people’s boundaries are around it, how they cope with the discomfort (if they feel any).
