“This isn’t a review of Toni Cowan Brown because, well, I’ve scarcely heard her speak on this pod. She is reduced to a supporting role of hmms and hahs while Ben Evans drones on and on, churning out the same repetitive catchphrases. Some of them might seem like insights at first, but they dissolve under any kind of examination, and in the meantime, oh goodness, did he just say that five more times? Yep. Did he just talk over the top of her when she tried to steer him away from the same old hobbyhorse? Yep, again.
I kept listening for a while in case her murmurs were a sort of coded message — “Help I am being held captive in a podcast studio by a relentless mansplainer” — but if that’s the case, I couldn’t decrypt them. I’m sorry Toni, hope you’re okay.”
