Listener sentiment
Sentiment has turned more positive in the most recent ratings window, with several listeners welcoming the new "Inquiry" format as a return to the intellectual rigor and genuine curiosity that defined the show's earliest incarnation, after what many viewed as an overproduced detour through the Cosmosis rebrand. Recent reviews praise Kelly Chase's philosophical depth, concise lucidity, and integrity, with some calling her a leading voice in a new generation of ufology and singling out specific episodes as standout work. The persistent fault line that earlier reviews exposed — between fans of the show's original evidence-based approach and those who appreciate its expansion into consciousness, mysticism, and anomalous experience — has softened, as the Inquiry format appears to be rewinning listeners who had drifted away. A recurring, lower-intensity criticism remains across both camps: Chase's delivery is frequently described as overly scripted and lecture-like, reading from carefully prepared text rather than conversing with the audience, which some find distancing even when they admire the substance. Release-schedule inconsistency, a long-standing listener frustration, continues to surface but less prominently in the most recent reviews. Overall, the show appears to be recovering goodwill lost during its mid-period format experiments, though the scripted delivery style remains the most consistent structural critique.
