“I feel lukewarm about this series. I've known Sarah Kay's work and think her poetry is beautiful and her performances compelling. She just doesn't do what a good host could do with these subjects. I find myself excited at various episodes, and then disappointed at how they're...”Read full review »

“I love some of these episodes!! This show has a great foundation and great bones and if they stick with it, it could be quite bingeable and something I keep in my wheelhouse for a long time to come”

“I loved the idea of this podcast, and tried listening to 4 episodes, because I really wanted to like it! But the transitions from the intro, middle of the show, and the end seemed really awkward, and making it hard to follow.”

“I LOVED the original season of this podcast and was so excited to see it was coming back. Unfortunately, I’m not a huge fan of the direction of the new season(s) / host. I had an extremely difficult time listening to the Ghost Writing episode because of such strong and clear opinions of the host…...”Read full review »

“It was a bit annoying that the host kept insisting what the ghost writer does is taboo / unethical. As a person who is not skilled at writing I actually was wondering how to contact this guest or find others like him! I have a friend who is so much better at putting words together to describe...”Read full review »

“I was excited this show came back, but I’m finding the host to be judgmental and insensitive during the episodes. I had to stop listening to the ghost episode because Sarah’s bias came off so strong and it did not seem fair to the guest.”

“Good idea to pull this together. Thanks. Don’t listen to the naysayers. Stick with it and keep it going because through educational content like you present you change individual thinking. This is the only way to change the collective.”

“The ghost writer episode was very hard to listen to. The host’s opinion is clear and completely understandable, given that she identifies as a professional writer and poet.
I would wonder how a non-writer, non-poet, average person would feel about this topic. I for one (as a regular person)...”Read full review »

“First felt seriously disappointed during the ghost writer episode. It’s one thing to have a different opinion but she was super unwelcoming and rather than listening to his story she inserted her judgement. Second is the latest episode about the Trans guest. She was so cold and removed. He shared...”Read full review »

“The host was not compassionate to the ghost writer or his clients. Not everyone is comfortable writing or speaking, and most people don’t have time to take an entire writing course for a speech. A best man could be working full time while earning a degree in mathematics or attending trade school....”Read full review »

The Ghost Writer episode was really eye opening, but the host was pretty judgmental about the topic. Perhaps that topic hits too close to home. Overall great episode and great production.

“I completely related to what the guest is saying.It’s never been easy for me to communicate my feelings on paper. It’s much easier for me too show my feelings than write it down, there are many times in my life when I could’ve used someone like him to help me express what I struggled to say. Also...”Read full review »

“I normally really love this podcast but I’m listening to the ghost writer episode and it’s so uncomfortable. The host clearly hates ghost writers... but why? She literally said she does something similar to him, but what she does is above ground... don’t have someone on the show just to talk down...”Read full review »
