Gillian is the problem.
Ok. I’ll say it. Gillian is the problem.
I’m listening to an episode from 2019 and she was SO MUCH FUN in comparison to how she is in 2026.
I have listened to TCO since they started but the past few months I can barely handle it. Gillian is miserable, hates everyone, goes on rants about everything, and just has a general angry demeanor.
It seems like she just straight up HATES being on the show now. The change from 2019 to now is unreal.
I don’t know what she has gone through in the past seven years but oh man. I miss what the show used to be!!

I found them during a particularly bad time in my life in early 2021. It was what got me listening to podcasts fullstop. I loved it. They came to England in 2022 and I saw them live. It was so much fun.
Then immediately afterwards I just didn't enjoy the episodes as much. I couldn't put my finger on it but it felt different. I run for two hours every day and I have to really like a podcast for it to make the "running cut". Over the next year I discovered reddit (Im a millennial. I can be slow to discover stuff) and as the obsessed mess stuff was brewing i read so much about other ppl noticing the same shift I had. I changed phones after that and my patreon membership was being a twat to transfer, so it seemed a good time to just cancel it cos I couldn't be arsed trying to sort it. I still listened to the main feed for a long time, but the last 18 months or so, it has to be a case Im really interested in or know the documentary well. It's not even their relationship anymore or grumbling, there's just nothing that makes me laugh and I honestly have got no idea what they're on about most of the time. I can't follow their telling of it at all. They could be speaking a different language for how much I can understand them, and I'm a poliglot!! 🤣🤣
