I want to stop listening to the podcast, but can’t.
I keep wanting to stop listening to this podcast. I don’t know Brett Ellis or Donna Tartt. I haven’t read their books. Probably never will. I don’t like anything about any of these characters. I am not of the generation that bore them. There are dozens of people in this podcast and I have a hard time keeping them all straight. I keep forgetting who is connected to whom. But, really, I couldn’t care less about the whole lot of them. They all seem like a bunch of self-entitled pseudo-intellectual rich kid snobby brats - even the ones who don’t have any money. But I am addicted to Lili Anolik’s storytelling. She breaks every podcast rule - too many characters, too many names, the entire story is too “inside baseball.” There’s no earthly reason to listen to this. Except I can’t stop. It is wonderful and textured and odd and literary and yet entirely down to earth. I am loving this ride. I can’t figure out why I’m on it but I am totally gobsmacked by it. I am not one who is easily surprised, but I never saw this coming. Awesome.

Instead it is tone deaf, dated, and tasteless and on top of that it is poorly written and overly scripted. I feel like this is a podcast written as cheap and slightly...Read full review »

When did victim blaming become a thing or is just okay in cases where the victim’s abuse led her into porn? Whatever the case, the face that this is being done at all is a shame, but the fact that the blaming is being done by a woman and she is all too happy to allow a man to pipe right in, is a...Read full review »
