Consistently Insightful and Enjoyable
I have been listening to podcasts for over 12 years now and this is one of 2 or 3 that I have been subscribed to for that entire period. I am amazed at the 3 main hosts’ breadth of knowledge and analytical thoughts on a wealth of cultural topics. Their various guest experts or cultural critics who periodically chime in on chosen topics are also welcome additions. In the end, the mix of playful debate, insightful reflections/questions, and passionate engagement from hosts Stephen, Dana and Julia sets the Culture Gabfest apart from the countless other culture-themed discussion podcasts out there. This should be at the top of everyone’s podcast feed. Bravo to Slate for keeping this gem going strong.

I broke my, “Don’t listen if there’s no Dana” rule. Won’t happen again.
