“*update 8/25/21 - I stopped listening to this podcast for awhile but saw some of the guests on the second season and wanted to give the show another try. I listened to the Hari Kondabolu conversation and it was so bad. I actually know Hari from Seattle and the hosts really wasted the interview time with him. They asked him sub par questions and hari is the one who had to add the depth. I hate to say this but the hosts seem to be very young and need a bit of support with how to maintain a conversation. The one co-host who identified as Filipina and Bengali was particularly bad…admitting at the end of the show that she doesn’t know much about her own personal history! Do your own work, and then start hosting a podcast! Anyway, I won’t be listening anymore.
There are some amazing guests on this show, but the co-hosts ask terrible questions. Antonio Vargas is amazing and he ran circles around the co-hosts who both seem apolitical and just not engaged. The Kamala Harris episode was good, but again, that’s because of the guest. Still deciding if I want to listen to the Padma Lakshmi episode.”
