Long time listener // tone has changed

“I’ve been listening to this show for 5ish years and I’ve noticed that the tone and the advice that Danny gives has changed a lot over time. Lately I’m finding that it’s lacking in compassion and empathy, and instead has a lot of snark and judgement about certain peoples problems or questions. Of course, there are rare occasions where that harsh tone is warranted, but usually not. I would love to see Danny bring back some of the warmth that he used to include on the episodes. I personally would never write in because I would terrified of getting torn apart, judged, and told my problem wasn’t legitimate. I think this show also used to have more humor to it (like when Danny would tell stories about eating peanut butter from the jar for lunch), and that seems to be gone and replaced with preachiness.
Two other suggestions: 1) I find that often he is answering questions about parenting when he doesn’t have kids and his guest doesn’t either. I’d love to hear more from guests who have kids so that we hear that perspective and perhaps bring more empathy to parenting issues that way. 2) I love when Grace is the guest and I wish that happened more often. I like that she will take a different stance than Danny, push back, and initiate more debate. And their dynamic is just very sweet :)”

“As a longtime Mallory Ortberg fan, maybe I am a bit biased, but she is so funny, wise and engaging, and it really comes through on the podcast.”

“This podcast pre-empts all my other audio entertainment, always. When a new episode pops up, I could be smack in the middle of a thrilling climactic sequence in an audiobook--so what! I'm pausing to listen to Mallory Ortberg. Calm, funny, rational, progressive--everything I want in an advice...”Read full review »
