Good podcast, uneasy about the Fahey episode
I believe women, I trust women and I support women, but the John Fahey episode felt like a fishing expedition or a takedown. I do not doubt these stories and whether or not they caused lasting hurt to the women involved, but to me the stories are the stories of human relationships that are messy and filled with both grief and happiness, which is part of this human experience. Sure Fahey might have been a jerk, but to even discuss “cancelling” him is just overreach, and betrays an academic thesis trying to prove itself. Yes, the pendulum has swung so far towards the patriarchy throughout time that it’s counter-swing is coming in hard and fast, but to suggest this is even close to a #metoo story is casting about. I did not even feel this from the women being interviewed, it was more like the host was eager to be the first to scrutinize/takedown another male cultural icon, and be the first to plant a flag there. To be the great ethically-superior spoil-sport mythbuster. I’m not sure what the standard of living is acceptable to be an artist in this era, but it seems as though it is to become flawless and less than human. When I was a young boy i wanted to be perfect so I adjusted my behavior in a way that would not be disagreeable to anybody. In the end I realized it made me boring and without character. (P.s. I’m not a diehard Fahey fan and while I enjoy his music it is not shattering my worldview to hear these stories)

Hadn't heard of this podcast until I saw a link to the Shaggs episode. I can honestly say, one of the most interesting podcasts I've ever heard. Very well done, and now I'm a Shaggs fan.Read full review »
