“I don’t care if this is a natural-speaking pace or not, you can’t call your podcast “easy” when you’re talking this fast. Change it to intermediate or call it a B level podcast and it would get 5⭐️ from me. But this is a cruel joke. How awful to gaslight learners into thinking they should be able to understand something when you’re clearly not even trying to make it accessible. It is hard work enough to build the confidence to speak another language on top of the fact that French-speakers in particular have a reputation for being super judgmental when you butcher their language. It is also hard finding a good beginner/intermediate podcast that isn’t talking about French politics or finance or some other stupid topic. And it is a shame because you both have interesting discussion topics but being told that you should be able to understand something like this because it is labeled “easy” when it is anything but is nothing short of a crushing disappointment for some people. I can slog through but I know plenty in my class who would give up. Rethink your title. Until then, that’s an unsubscribed from me.”
