Disrespectful coverage of issues affecting the black community
The host attempted to address a topical black issue without any black people present to share their perspective. Given that guests are booked ahead of time, that’s understandable; though one could argue that it was worth delaying the discussion for the sake of having the perspective of an actual black person represented on the panel. However, the resulting discussion completely missed the mark: It was clear that no one had spoken with any black people prior to discussing the topic and that no one on the show had bothered researching what black voices online had to say about the topic, because the panel never even got close to touching on the main grievances of black people (and everyone on the panel essentially dismissed it as a non-issue, to make matters worse). I’m not sure if it was laziness, incompetence, or just a general apathy toward black issues and viewpoints, but it made for a frustrating listen and turned me off this pod for good.
