important issue, frustratingly unhelpful angle
When I read the description of this podcast, I felt so seen. Thank you, Gimlet, for making a forum for one of the most difficult yet least scrutinized (in a rigorous way) life changes. BUT. You zoomed too far in by focusing on individual therapy-like conversations. I do not need to listen in on a stranger’s realization about her relationship with her own mother. (In fact, it makes me feel worse! It’s like being asked to do anonymous emotional labor, listening to someone else’s tearful confessions.) You’re choosing great episode topics and then making me wish you’d given me research, journalism, information—anything more widely applicable beyond the sample-size-of-one anecdote. Maybe this podcast would make sense if the media were already doing a bang-up job of covering motherhood, but it’s not. Get the basics covered, please, before you go off into the weeds.
