“I was excited about this podcast but after finishing the first episode I felt unclear about the story being told and I had seen the documentary/film about this hoax. Then after listening to two more episodes I realized it is an editing/story telling problem.”

“Ironic that a literary podcast is this poorly written. This host is awful. She’s patronizing, righteous and overwrought. I mean how many times do you have to virtue signal by mentioning someone’s “whiteness” when talking about a writer. Would love to hear this podcast with a better...”Read full review »

“Why I cannot listen to you - the noise you lay behind the voice as a so-called music bed -1. It's not music, it's electronic drivel, and 2. it's not necessary: If your story line, script, and delivery cannot provide enough entertainment to keep a listener engaged, then quit.”Read full review »

“The subjects are interesting, but the writing is mundane and the presentation is overwrought and trying too hard to imitate other podcasts that focused on more dramatic material. Lastly, it is too estrogenic for my tastes.”

“The stories are fascinating but the writing of the episodes is so confusing and muddled and clearly biased that it’s almost impossible to tell what the story is actually about. The last episode about three cups of tea was nonsensical. I couldn’t understand the story, and then the third act was a...”Read full review »

“I was really excited about this podcast but I had to turn it off after the second episode. I think a podcast exploring inequities in publishing could be really great! But a podcast posing as unsolved weirdies, that then just preaches for 45 minutes without any concrete evidence is lame. I want to...”Read full review »

“I’ve been enjoying this podcast so far, but todays episode made me very annoyed. the “dreams vs. reality” was a whole episode of being condescended to. Someone must have not felt like writing an actual episode this week, so we all had to suffer through the kindergarten class version of this pod.”

“The show frequently judges others for doing things for dubious reasons, while seeming completely oblivious that the show is 100% capitalizing on salacious gossip. Gossip is bitter when delivered in such a holier than thou frame.”

“If you’re looking for an explanation for how 40 passages from Megan McCafferty’s “Sloppy Firsts” ended up in Kaavya Viswanathan’s “Opal Mehta” well…you aren’t going to get an answer here.
I agree with other reviewers who found this first interview with Viswanathan in 15 years extremely...”Read full review »

“I understand the angle of the episode on Kaavya Viswanthanan: the author was really just a figurehead for a YA book project cobbled together by others. While that is worth exploring, the episode glosses over the sheer amount of brazen plagiarism in “How Opal Mehta Got Kissed” and the author’s...”Read full review »

“Repetitive, slow, full of filler and unnecessary digressions.

There is a crazy amount of social justice throat clearing, especially...”Read full review »

“The host talks sooooo slowly. Her delivery is incredibly stiff, too.

Tried it at 1 & 1/4 speed but then the other ppl are too fast. Can’t...”Read full review »

Surely there’s another way to frame whatever lessons exist here, or at least deploy a more journalistic method to prove the host’s point? The Dan...”Read full review »
