“I was excited about the concept of this podcast. I was especially into the fact that there was an episode about JD Salinger. I am of course biased because he is my favorite author (his short stories, not so much The Catcher in the Rye). I understand that not everything would be covered but I expected the things that were covered would be accurate. The moment Franny and Zooey was described as two stories about Franny and “her sister, Zoey” I knew that there wasn’t much research here. There is also a time where one of the hosts said that they don’t like to comment on age gaps when referring to Charlie and Oona Chapman and then do just that when referring to Salinger and his eighteen year old girlfriend. I’ll probably give another episode a listen but to be honest, after the inaccuracies in this episode I don’t think I’ll be able to trust that what I’m hearing is actually true. Such a bummer.”
