“We need more people like this. Society really can wash the common consensus into a single direction and those that get stuck in the side are battered. Empathy is a powerful thing. I love how she talks to these people. We’re all taught to treat people how we would want to be treated but that...”Read full review »

“I was excited when I found this podcast, but the host uses the excuse of “empathy” and “objectivity” to avoid any real, inspired questioning of any of her guests. And I don’t mean that I want her to come at her guests with any form of aggression or try to prove them wrong. She regularly seems...”Read full review »

“I am interested in incel roots, behaviour, pain and ways to improve the situation. But this podcast has lots of opinion and less explanation or research There is an assumption that we all know every term (ie they’ll be talking about being red pilled or other terms and don’t explain or explore)....”Read full review »

“I have listened to this podcast for years because I find the topic compelling. Unfortunately Naama’s pattern of ascribing negative motives to certain groups while giving undue sympathy to incels undermined the podcast's credibility and hindered the exploration of complex social issues. Her...”Read full review »

“Fantastic (and not at all unhinged) review, Kandyst4r! With just 3 words - “Stay mad, feminists” - you sure owned us!
Literally, not one single person is angry about this podcast. The quality just isn’t at the level to elicit any sort of strong emotional response. Sorry that wasn’t as obvious to...”Read full review »

I think it is OK to give these people a platform. Because they are not given one so often, only the ones that they...”Read full review »

“I am grateful to Naama for seeking to understand incels rather than just accepting the false mainstream narrative that we are majority hateful scary people. I and I suspect many other incels hold no hate in our hearts at all.”

“Horrible podcast. I felt that the guests were all made up to keep this podcast alive with the same guests appearing but with different names and made up accents, very unprofessional.

And Naama is right, they do have some valid points re: a lookist society. At first I thought Naama was remaining objective as not to alienate the...”Read full review »

“Girl
You cannot make a podcast called incel
Then use it to upload random things like your last episode
You weren’t in it, it’s scarcely related. It’s definitely scraping the bottom of the barrel.
If you have nothing to post, then don’t post?
Early episodes were good, lost the format....”Read full review »
