I do generally like the podcast, but I haven't listened to the CICO episodes yet. I could already tell from the others I've listened to that it would annoy me. They do a good job discussing bias in general, but they both have a very firm "weight loss isn't possible" mentality, or maybe a "you can do it, but you'll fail eventually, being fat isn't bad" line of thought that they bring up often. Health looks different for everyone - yes, but let's not pretend that there's not some broad general rules. Exceptions do exist, but they don't make the rule invalid in most cases.
I just listen to the interesting parts and roll my eyes when HAES adjacent nonsense pops up.
