The Traci Lords episodes want to be tabloid fodder with veneer of respecting a victim

“It’s an okay listen, but then they said “1986 was maybe the last great year of Hollywood” and then I remembered that certain people will be ignored in the narrative. Update: I think I know what’s troubling about this podcast, they’re talking about a very sensitive subject, they’re trying to be fair and do all this research and interviews but it falls flat due to the tone. They try to be sexy and be like this expose, with this annoying banter and double entendres, and it’s about a underage girl who went into porn. And then there’s the arrogance of all of it. Also, guys, umm, glad you mentioned how a lot of these interviewees were very biased and that we should believe Traci Lord, especially her rape and molestation, but you kind of dropped the ball when you say things about how much she was sexually aggressive. Edit: Also, the little bit where they talk about how celebrities want to be porn stars with leaked nude photos and sex tapes? After it was reported how this was done without their consent. And this feels especially uneasy since we are re-examining how the media and society treated these young women. These were not wanna be porn stars, they were people who were taken advantage of and were then laughed at. What was the point of this podcast? Update: Season 2 is better. Don’t know how long this opinion will last but the college lives of rich literary figures are more palpable to listen about. Though I am wondering when Donna Tartt sics the lawyers on them (and I will not blame her). Update: I went to check up on Tartt, and surprised to learn a certain thing about her. This podcast does not mention how racist those books are. Interesting.
Update: Still annoyed by that line “1986 was the last great year in Hollywood.””

“I’m only 3 episodes in, so perhaps this gets better later, but this is not what I expected. The first episode is actually excellent although I’m not sure why they chose to have a British man read as Traci? Nonetheless, Traci tells her story, and it’s great. But then, the hosts make some unusual...”Read full review »

“I was very interested after hearing the promo and I enjoyed the first episode. However, after listening to the second episode it became clear to me that the show was going to switch back and forth between the version of a 15 year old girl who was sexually trafficked to the perspective of older...”Read full review »

“This podcast is about the porn industry and sprinkles Traci bits in as a way to get an audience. They side with pedophiles and say “she didn’t seem like a minor” as a way to validate this. Victim blaming.”
