“Oh, everyone's a critic. Even those who have no idea about what they're critiquing.
This is a cultured panel, but seemingly cultureless outside the realms of pretention.

“I look forward to this podcast every week. Usual format is to choose 3 current topics/events/people in "culture" (broadly defined, usually NY-based), do a little homework the night before, and chat about each topic for 10 minutes. They go astray if they pick a topic none of them...”Read full review »
