“There isn’t enough thought put into the character motives, relationships and development. For example, when Benton’s mother falls ill and he pushes to get in her operating room, the hosts just declare he is being “Benton” and don’t analyze why he is being that way—it would have been more interesting to discuss how his character could have an internalized mistrust of how drs will treat his mother based on systemic racism. Or when Green begins to spiral after his attack and he gives a great monologue at the end of the live episode, there is no discussion of how he is exhibiting that fear in his behavior, rather they just say he’s a jerk. I find myself turning the podcast on with hopes it will improve but after 4 seasons I have lost hope. I also find the dynamic between the hosts to be awkward and disjointed at times. It seems like they are friends but there are many awkward silences and solo laughs that cause me to wonder if they are actually listening to each other or just waiting for their turn to speak.”
