“Phoebe is funny, quick-witted, and edgy. Her quips and comedic- jabs land well. Phoebe’s forced laughter is a bit awkward when she laughs at guests who aren’t funny, but that’s hit or miss depending on the guest for the episode. The guests’ stories are interesting and relatable, so kudos to Phoebe for the lineup. 👍
The podcast line-up inverts Fox New’s staffing practice to satirize the status quo. As part personal therapy and comedy hour, the theme of racial grievance runs throughout and may not be openly inclusive of all audiences: some bits are blatantly discriminatory or prejudicial-which doesn’t help build better community. However, Phoebe’s secondary focus (political activism and not comedy) may be edgy and appealing to those ‘woke’ among us.
The podcast is bitter sweet: it’s funny and not funny.”
