A for Effort, T for Nice Try
I can't tell you how much I desperately WANTED to love this podcast but I don't. On the sexual continuum of podcasts, I was hoping that Sex Nerd Sandra would be both informative and funny but would certainly lean more toward being informative first and funny second. In my, ever so humble opinion, I found this podcast focused on smoothing over MANY awkward moments with nervous laughter. For me, the awkward pauses and laughter created many unfortunate awkward moments, where in the opportunity to actually just let the interviewee simply discuss the topic from their point of view. To often points of discussion were lost to about 5-10 seconds of nervous awkward laughter. A simple follow up question could alleviate the sometimes negative airspace. In particular, I am referencing the episode that addressed the topic of asexuality. While I don't remember the episode number, I recall that, that particular episode could have been more informative. I had hoped to gain more knowledge from the podcast but their was so much awkward laughter that I was disappointed with the episode in general. When it's all said and done I am confused about whether the Sex Nerd Sandra Podcast is supposed to be informative or funny. I don't think being informative or funny are mutually exclusive themes. I'd love for it to be both. So what do I think would help?More attention to the interview questions and possibly even providing those questions to interviewees (in advance) would help with the flow that this podcast currently has, where the interviewees often seem taken off guard by the questions being asked. Often Sex Nerd Sandra is working with interviewees that may be used to telling their story in their own style. A direct line of questioning my throw them off if they have not had time to develop a response, in advance. That said, it's possible the podcast is doing this already. What do I know? I WANT to love Sex Nerd Sandra because the podcast addresses serious topics of sexuality that should be treated with more than, what in my opinion comes across as "seat of the pants" humor. But approached with well thought out humor with an intelligent line of questioning that makes for more effective interviews.Read full review »
