“In theory this should be a great podcast but, I don’t think that the question posed to which ever disenfranchised subject of the episode, is the question that most people would ask.
Example, people that were formerly incarcerated, why did you do it? I think most people would ask did you do it?? But, it percentage of crime in the US is mostly related, to drugs. That’s a fact there are less people locked up for murder then there are drug offenses. I don’t think one would ever ask an ex addict that’s been incarcerated, because of possession or use or the sale of drugs, why they did it.
And for a host, who’s never met somebody that was one time locked up, she just really has not a lot of real life credibility, at least with me and I understand that I am not everyone.
Another example is the autistic episode, is it OK to ask someone with autism if they are sure? Who would ask that if anybody had questions about us being autistic and ask the person diagnosed with autism, the first question if there were any questions and I can’t stress that “if” enough, how were you diagnosed or when were you first diagnosed or is it difficult for you?
I don’t know, I’ve turned to podcasts in the last two years because, there’s too much useless information that only seeks to inflame and not educate, out there in social media and YouTube. With podcasts being one “feed” that I can totally control, this just isn’t any kind of knowledge or of any interest.
It’s nothing spectacular here, there’s nothing expert or even relatable. Maybe it’s a generational thing, I am 42 so who knows. Perhaps this is what younger people ask each other, but it’s just a no go for me.”
