“I keep trying to come back to this podcast because I like the subject matter. Overall I want to listen but have recently unsubscribes. I’m routinely annoyed by the dynamic between the hosts. I listened to their episode where they unpacked this a bit - but alas, it continues and they don’t quite seem to get that at a fundamental level, it takes away from the content delivery. If they could prepare a bit more and assess where their view points differ, maybe that could help.
Listening to them bicker, talk over each other, etc. is so irritating and even a little unnerving. It’s a bit of any irony - I have a hard time listening because I’m unable to feel at ease knowing they will start arguing at any moment. I’m sometimes even triggered by it. I know that their banter is done quite gently and in a healthy manner, for them. I still find it distracting, unnerving, and sometimes triggering when it’s a gender dynamic that mirrors broader interpersonal oppression (white men talking over everyone else, repeating what’s already been said, disagreeing despite not listening well at all).
I will keep trying to listen. I hope this keeps getting addressed.”
