“I constantly come back to listen to the way Jamie expresses her observations and also brings forth quotes and evidence of what she is stating. This podcast has helped me open my eyes to so many things I can't unsee. Growing up AFAB there's so much subliminal messaging that you don't...”Read full review »

“Does justice to my favourite novel and serves as an amazing deep dive on so many topics that I wouldn’t be nearly as educated on without this podcast”

“I am never not pleased, cheesed and in awe of all of Jamie’s work!! It is brilliant, it is funny (like actually funny tho) and it is so so poignant and necessary! I am properly obsessed. The Lolita Podcast in particular has given voice to an issue I have felt so deeply but never had the words to...”Read full review »

“I really wanted to like this podcast. The info and citations were well sourced. I found the host’s voice hard to listen to, couldn’t quite put my finger on why. Tried to stick through to the end, but I had to skip most of the last episode. The voiceovers were really strange at times.”

“Imagine doing a podcast, a very comprehensive podcast, on one of the most controversial English language books in the 20th Century and not mentioning…The Writing! Imagine. The subject matter is icky, pure, as the kids would say, cringe. But if all you did was read the book just for Nabokov’s...”Read full review »

“I love all of Jamie’s podcasts, but this is one is my favourite by far. Her research is thorough, her critiques are thoughtful, and her analysis is wonderfully nuanced. I learned so much from this podcast, and I know I’ll be thinking about all of it for a very long time. Great work, Jamie!!”

“What an exceptional podcast! So interesting and helped me a lot in putting together a Nabokov exhibit at the uni I work at. My exhibit is mostly on his work in entomology but you cannot have a Nabokov exhibit and not address the Lolita in the room. Thank you.”

“This podcast is a masterpiece of research and analysis. It is incredibly powerful for survivors of childhood sexual trauma/abuse to listen to, but also for anyone, as we are all affected whether we realize it or not.
It’s definitely challenging, but worth it if you can handle the intensity.”

“There was clearly a huge amount of effort put into this podcast and it shows. But… I was sooo excited about this podcast and the idea of a close examination of Nabokov’s intentions vs. how society has chosen to interpret it is a fascinating subject. But the podcast just kind of lost me… quite...”Read full review »

“Love the podcast, but I wonder if Jamie is aware of the ads that play in this episode - one with a man (possibly) boasting about being accused of harassment by more than 10 women claiming he’s the “Everyman”. Seems like a bizarre ad to have on a podcast that is all about sexual assault…”

“This podcast is extremely revealing of just how deep victim blaming, sexism, and the over-sexualization of minors run in the US.
I also found it very revealing of my own personal biases as a cishet man with no traumatic experiences of my own.
Thank you Jamie Loftus!”
