The Bad Take Podcast Archives

This is the complete archive of the conversational podcast I co-hosted with Himal Kotelawala. The podcast was active from 2018–2022. Originally hosted on Anchor, it was distributed on most podcast platforms using Anchor’s syndication tools. The show is archived here for posterity, complete with the original show notes first published at thebadtake.com.

The podcast was effectively discontinued in 2022, however, Himal and I may continue to record and publish irregularly.

The podcast’s logo was designed by me.
