Great content, poor delivery
This series is from a few years ago, but the topic is so relevant and fascinating; I was excited to learn about the podcast when I joined Slate Plus recently. I was looking forward to hearing each in-depth episode. Jamelle Bouie is excellent, but Rebecca Onion makes most of her declarative sentences into questions. I couldn’t even finish the first episode; her style of speaking was grating, and distracting to the point that I couldn’t listen to it, which is so disappointing. I listened to a few bits of later episodes to see if maybe someone had coached her, but no. I’m sorry to contribute negatively but I hope maybe producers will consider the impact voice has on listeners, and the importance of a modicum of professionalism in conveying information on such a profoundly important subject. Thank you.
