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.

I've been excited for this podcast since hearing about it on other NPR podcasts I enjoy (NPR politics and Pop-culture happy hour). The topic is engaging and it'll actually stimulating and the hosts make it entertaining with their great rapport. Looking forward to next week!Read full review »

The first episode lacks to provide any evidence on any claim. It's all speculative opinions based on a narrow group of peopleRead full review »

No real analysis or science or icky things like numbers or statistics. Why do that when we can just talk about our lived experiences and avoid any actual work? Typical identity politics dogma.
