I used to listen to this all the time

“And then one day the voice of one of the hosts gave me such a migraine it felt like a tapeworm had bored a hole in my brain. The topic of the show was interesting so stupidly I listened while my headache grew. It lasted hours, would not go away. I couldn’t focus. All I could do was write a story about it. In the story, a critic falls asleep over his computer and wakes up to find something growing in his ear. It turns out to be a little head, an inner critic, talking all the time and growing bigger and bigger. (That’s how my headache felt, this critic’s voice that would not switch off.) The little critic growing out of the man’s head goes on to grow stronger and larger while the man languishes as the little critic does other surreal things…
After that unforgettable migraine I could never return to Culture Gabfast. I tried but at the back of my mind was the memory like some high pitched sound - is that what tinnitus is like? It’s sad because I had enjoyed listening to Stephen, Dana and Julia applying way too much intelligence to great and small topics. It was nice to hear people listening to each other. It seems we have less of that these days. Listening as though what others said mattered because we knew they would listen just as attentively to what we have to say.”

“Spectacular conversations! Each of the three hosts - Steve, Julia, Dana - are ludicrously eloquent and sharp. Every guest too is worth championing too! The best part of every Wednesday.”
