I love Mallory - just can't stand this podcast
I hesitate to leave a one-star review, because I too am a podcaster & I appreciate the work that goes into a podcast. That said, Slate is a money-maker, so I feel like all bets are off in this case.

I find the listener questions interesting and the advise fine but find it so very difficult to listen when you and your guest insert the work like before every other word. I couldn't finish your November 16 episode. This is...Read full review »
