“Alex and Mary Ann are knowledgeable and insightful, I’d love a show hosted by the two of them. Natasha is… very happy. She seems nice, and like she’s probably fun at parties. It certainly seems she’s beloved from all the glowing reviews here, so I must be the outlier; maybe you’ll love her. But - my god - I find her so painful to listen to.
She doesn’t seem to have any depth of understanding of the subjects she reports on, and a lack of life experience shows in her many cringy, clueless comments and observations. Her interviews are filled with base questions and meaningless responses to the interviewee. And she speaks at breakneck speed! It sounds like she took 30mg of instant release Adderall and drank two cups of coffee 20min before recording - how has no one given her the feedback to slow down?
Any episode that features Natasha heavily I’ve started to skip. I can’t tell if her affect is due to a lack of confidence or the result of a sheltered, naive existence. Clearly I’m in the minority here, and I’m glad so many people enjoy the show as-is. But I’m an adult who wants to be more informed about the tech industry, and that does not happen when she contributes.”
