“I really wanted to be able to say that the NPR-haters, political wingnuts, and white folks who can't stand a story that doesn't end with them being god's gift to the planet are all wrong about this podcast and are just looking for something to dislike. But . . . that first episode was really not very good.
I'm a 30-something black woman and I found just about everyone and their contribution to the conversation annoying. The premise (whitness as a cultural identity and why we don't talk about it as such) was interesting, but the producers didn't do much with it. No historical or political context was provided, and the very little social context that was provided was so incoherently expressed as to be virtually useless. And then they interview a college student! It was so painful listening to the young man try to talk about race that I had to turn it off. This is mean and I'm sure college students have great and valid ideas about the world (I used to be one!), but listening to ANY college student talk about issues like this or politics in general is like listening to cat's nails on a blackboard. NEXT!
But, I'm hoping things get better over time since I had the good fortune to listen to the second episode first, which was an improvement over the first.”Read full review »

“Really surprised to see negative ratings. Three episodes in, I think the podcast does a great job of discussing the complexities of race and its intersections. Good guests too! My favorite podcast dealing w race.”

“Learned nothing from listening to this except for the fact that white people feel awkward about talking about being white. And, most of the 5 star reviews were given before the podcast even came out which should not happen.”

“Hey, I'm only one episode deep, but first ep was frustrating! I feel like they were talking about talking about whiteness rather than actually talking about whiteness. The message was pretty convoluted. Hoping future eps are more focused!”Read full review »
