I've listened to my fair share of bad podcasts over the years, but Rise and Fall Season 5 easily makes it into my top five worst. It’s a mess from start to finish, lacking any real substance, coherence, or even basic storytelling.

The script feels rushed and poorly thought out, as if no effort was made to craft a compelling narrative. The writing is so bad that it becomes distracting, making it hard to stay engaged. If that wasn’t enough, the production quality is shockingly subpar. It’s as if no one bothered to do a final quality check before releasing the episodes—otherwise, this season would have never seen the light of day.

The entire show is disjointed, unfocused, and frustrating to listen to. If you're considering giving it a try, my advice is simple: stay far away. There are countless better podcasts out there—don’t waste your time on this one.
