“Another review here, one that gave the podcast five stars, asked who needs another dissection of low-brow celebrity-obsessed popular culture masquerading as cultural coverage. I certainly don't. That's why I've stopped listening to these pretentious twits.
Using obscure language is a...”Read full review »
