Disappointing
The latest episodes finally tipped it for me: interviewing an Israeli professor at the University of Haifa, a colonial institution, about listening, with no mention of the atrocities his government and nation are carrying out, is just cruel. Shankar even asked, “Guy, is there a moment when someone has come to you and you haven’t been able to listen?” and Guy responded by talking about his three daughters, and how, living with four women, of course he’s always hearing how he needs to listen better, ha ha. I kept waiting for some mention of the Palestinian people, even a passing reference. This show has always been liberal, meaning, invested in upholding the status quo but with a more humane color scheme. Finally, I can’t tolerate the apathy from a host I feel is probably genuinely kind. It’s hard to put one’s own living at risk, when speaking in favor of the Palestinian people carries such heavy penalties; I will just be spending my listening time elsewhere.

Why not stick to a point and dig deep instead of rambling all over the place with bells and whistles? It’s hard to get...Read full review »

Meh
I really wanted to like this, but there's really nothing here to like. If NPR is the Pixar of Podcasting, this is their Cars 2.Read full review »
