Pretty good
I’m a longtime listener of Karina’s “You Must Remember This” podcast and for the most part, this podcast is on par with the former’s quality. Well researched and many interesting tidbits about the subjects and Hollywood during that time. I really could do without the actors playing Joan and Walter—Zooey Deschanel and Jon Hamm don’t really add anything and I get what they’re going for, but their exaggerated dramatizations feel over the top and silly. Also, Vanessa Hope is so clearly biased in her take on the events since she is Joan and Walter’s granddaughter—she excuses away or spins many actions of her grandparents. I don’t blame her, but it doesn’t make for a good narrator. Lastly, I have to echo the complaint of many other reviewers—the volume of the ads is INSANE!! I was listening while driving once and I legit jumped from the volume of the first ad, which was very scary. The podcast itself is much too soft in comparison. This is probably my biggest gripe. Please, PLEASE fix this. It’s ridiculous.

This is preposterous. The 2 narrators come off as ludicrous, pretentious idiots. It is insult to modern women. Please abandon this drivel. Many episodes about a story that has been well covered over decades. Whole story is in description. Is this part of the “dumbing down of America”? ...Read full review »

If you’re expecting a story told by Zooey Deschanel & Jon Hamm, this is not the podcast for you. The producers bill them as the lead but you rarely hear their voices. Most of the story is told by others. What’s worse is that they throw in a healthy dose of lecturers on how to be woke. Zooey...Read full review »
