Has changed
I used to enjoy this podcast, but the tone has changed. I just listened to part of a recent episode about cooking, and the author of the cookbook seemed overly entitled, blaming her struggles with the publishing industry on white people; publishing a book is competitive for everyone, and there is no recognition of this. I was interested in her cookbook because my boyfriend’s Punjabi mother has taught me recipes, and I’d like to learn simpler versions; but now I will not support this author. While some of the host’s comments are thoughtful, refreshing, and insightful, I hear a lot of derision and distaste for white people; unfortunately, such open hatred is only alienating people and contributing to increased racial tension these days, it’s not drawing people closer. I get that white people have often been privileged and often have had positions of power, which has created, understandably, a lot of resentment, but the open dislike of white people in this show is not professional. Sorry if my opinion is offensive to anyone; I try my best to not offend people, but I honestly don’t think this is contributing to improving relationships between races. Maybe that’s not the intention of the show though. I will be unsubscribing.
