“I tend to believe that people who put this podcast down feel - as I often do - intimidated by the erudition of the panelists. The esoteric references are sometimes unknown to me, but that's what I want from a culture podcast: No Paris Hilton and the occasional reference to existentialism to make me feel less guilty about caring (so deeply) about Lady GaGa. I'm worried, in fact, that this gabfest has gotten less in-depth as a result of the criticism, which seems - in general - to suggest that knowing something the reviewer doesn't know is the essence of pretension. Why tune in to something that tells us more about what we already know?
I LOVE Steven Metcalfe. I totally don't get it about the criticisms of him. I think he's generous to his other hosts, funny and wise and expects more from the culture than the culture generally coughs up. Adore him, he's why I tune in. I pathetically consider him a friend, albeit an eardrum friend who has no idea who I am.
I listen to this first, Savage Love second, the Moth and This American Life are tied for third, if anyone cares.”Read full review »

I jot them down and look them up when I get home. 43 y.o. and still learning, it never ends. I love when...”Read full review »
