They are pretty good, but they’re no Matt and Tracy tbh. I highly recommend watching some of the pre-YouTube (like pre-2010, or the “Throwbacks”) shows where Matt hosts, or literally any of them where Tracy is on. The audio and video is shit, I won’t even lie, but the content is peak ATX.
Tracy and Matt used to handle every caller with a level of style and grace no host has matched in a long time. The juxtaposition between them eviscerating every theist’s argument and their unrelenting compassion and patience was immaculate. (heh) Back then, the caller had to say something truly abhorrent for them to be the first ones to get heated.
The main issue I see with modern ATX is all the brow beating. They used to talk to their callers like adults, but now they’re so patronizing most of the time. Like they’re talking to children. Far too often, they embody the angry internet atheist stereotype that the older generation of atheists has been trying to move away from.
Idunno, I think Forrest Valkai and JMike are pretty good, but that may be because I’m a zillenial
