“Jamie Loftus has done an amazing job with the research, the writing, and the narration of this incredible podcast. It's just too darn bad she did not use professional readers for all of the voice acting. She seems to have chosen her friends, or kids from some high school speech class to do all the voices, and they are cringe-worthy.
I find her selection of a speaker doing a bad rendition of a particular southern American dialect as the voice of Sigmund Freud to be particularly egregious. Not only is it a terrible performance, but I find it, how shall I put it, racist? Her distain for Freud is clear, and she stereotypically associates the dialect with all the bad traits she is highlighting for Dr. Freud. This is unfair to the people who happen to speak with that dialect. A neutral accent or maybe a German accent would've been more appropriate.
Notwithstanding all this, I am thoroughly appreciating this podcast.”Read full review »

“Definitely long overdue. A thorough study in moral ambiguities. A book that resonates down the decades. Very listenable.”
