Excellent, real, raw storytelling
Highly recommend. Hoping this otherwise substance-less review rises above the review that meaninglessly critiques the podcast’s use of the word “like” as unprofessional. 1) Elitist. 2) To the extent that persons interviewed use the word “like,” they are narrating their experiences. Most of us humans use the word “like” or other fillers in conversation. 3) I tracked every use by Emily Bazelon of the word “like.” She uses the word when making comparisons. A listener may prefer “such as” or “for example,” but “like” is valid and, I suggest, used far more commonly when making comparisons in the spoken word. There is a clip of a judge increasing bail from $1,000 to $2,000 based on the simple fact that the accused said “yeah” instead of “yes” in response to his question. That story probably horrified the “like” reviewer, but it is only a step away from your critique. Thanks Charged team!

Well done profile of a part of the criminal justice system - but in your discussions, can you get through a sentence without using the word “like” - very annoying and unprofessional.

This is an absolutely horrible podcast. I made it 5 minutes before “like”, “diversity”, and “white” became overbearing. Very intolerant despite preaching tolerance.
