“I’m liberal and listened cuz my recently turned conservative sister has been talking about classics for a bit and I didn’t know it was a known conservative “obsession”. But honestly kinda annoyed that Lulu talked with a negative/impatient/slightly rude tone most of the episode. The guest seemed...”Read full review »

That said, I must agree with a number of other reviewers who have commented - negatively on all of Lulu’s “hmmms”. They’re unnecessary; I think everyone believes she is still there & paying good, caring attention. (Her...”Read full review »

“I listened to the last episode (April 27th) about MAID (medical assist in dying). Great episode, complex issue and not an easy answer. The only down side in this episode for me was the host was a little bias against MAID. It seems to me that she was not a neutral interviewer. Difficult but...”Read full review »

“Hello I have recently started listening and I think you done some amazing episodes. But I feel you’ve been biased in your last episodes just interviewing pro-choice professionals. We need to hear the other sides. I’ll have a look again and see if you do. Best regards”

“There’s a point, about halfway into this podcast, where she admits to the man who was her interpreter, guide and good friend in Iraq during the war that she “didn’t get it” about how the war effected him. Later on, we’re reminded through their conversation, the too many Americans also didn’t get...”Read full review »

I can’t help it-I know it’s just a name and the work is just as good but lulu just brings it down to a kid level. Image somehow matters.
Excellent work all these years.”

comfortable but always good for me. The personal narratives of guests talking about a broader societal issue helps me enter into a topic in ways that are not usual. Thank you!”
