“I was just introduced to this podcast and I've listened to the first Caroline Calloway episode. I enjoy the way the presenter speaks and overall, the way Calloway's story is told is engaging.
That said, the episode is about 45 minutes long, and the story of Calloway didn't even start until after the 10-minute mark, following an introduction, promotions, more teasers, and more ads. By the time the story did begin, I found myself frustrated in the way I get with online recipes or infomercial-y clickbait sales pitches that lure you in with the promise of something interesting and 10 minutes later have not told you anything about it, just a lot of sales-y chatter.
I understand that this podcast is a commercial endeavor and so the ads are a given, but I do think the host and producers could lose much if not most of the introductory chatter and just cut to the story itself. I do plan to listen to the part-two episode of Calloway's story, but I'm anticipating skipping over the first 10-15 minutes to get to the story part and I do wonder whether the story couldn't have just been a single episode if the unnecessary filler talk were cut out. As a listener, I am coming for the story itself and personally, I don't get much from all the lead-ins, being told over and over that everyone knows the story already and about what a scandal it was.”Read full review »

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

“I really enjoyed the episode I listened to. It could have been great without bringing social justice issues into it—can we judge a person’s actions without bringing race and gender into it please!”

“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.”
