“Unlike the Political Gabfest which has great personalities and lively interaction, the Culture Gabfest spends all its time being above everything it discusses. In the most recent episode, the moderator shoved aside one speaker who has good things to say about the topic (Starbucks) so the other person could have time to completely tear the topic apart -- but not in an entertaining way.

It was like listening to parents discussing that crazy music the kids are a-listening to these days.

“Sadly, the Slate Culture Gabfest doesn't hold a candle to the Political Gabfest. Even for a culture snob like me, this show is a little hard to take. One problem is the main host, Stephen Metcalf. He has a creepy way of overenunciating—it sounds like he chews each word twelve times before...”Read full review »
