yikes
was really enjoying all of these investigative series - listened to dangerous minds, pig iron, hoaxed, dr anti vax, and sweet bobby. all really interesting nuanced stories. then i listened to the tavistock series and was honestly shocked it came from the same media company. some really bizarre interview subjects are engaged with uncritically, while others badgered into oblivion. the “my kid isn’t trans just fat” mom was…..sheesh…. not really adding any valuable perspective there, and it’s pretty embarrassing include that in the dialogue presented. the host seemed to care way more about the affect of gender affirming care on the parents than on the kids themselves. just really strange choices all around. the sound bite of the host fretting that her show would be irrelevant if the center closes was so….cringey. why include that? obtuse takes all around shrouded in “just asking questions”. i had subscribed to tortoise because i was enjoying all of these series a lot, but after that listen i have a very icky feeling i can’t shake - will be unsubscribing.
