“One star for racial discrimination. Podcastle is actively accepting submissions from any race BESIDES white people. Marginalizing white authors and black-tarring the publishing industry is as racist as any segregating policy. “Whites need not apply.” And I won’t be listening either, for that reason. I’m over it with the publishing industry’s racism. This is why I no longer purchase new books or listen to literary podcasts. Equal opportunity for all races is justice. Discriminating towards white authors - while patting yourself on the back for how progressive you are - is racism, and anyone who participates in this is racist. The POC authors published during this submission period of racial exclusion are actively choosing to benefit from racism, and I’ll be happy to give their other published works 1 star on any platform available. I’m exhausted by the anti-white racism in the publishing industry. I want an equal playing field for all. Talent, not skin color, should be the main determining factor in whether or not a writer is published. Period. And no, POC don’t need to be catered to because they’re “underrepresented.” POC have been published in demographically white-majority countries for decades and decades. They’re not underserved - POC are over-represented in Western publishing. The white majority is being underserved, because we are actively being discriminated against based on the industry’s proud racial and political bias. “BIPOC only” submission periods is code for “giving the country’s published narrative away to those who despise the majority of its people.” I’m not supporting or normalizing this racist movement. I want justice and equality. Nothing more, nothing less.”

Overall, this podcast is great: short intro, brief but thoughtful and intelligent commentary. The host focuses on the story, not himself (unlike Dunesteef which is so...”Read full review »
