5 stars + some feedback
I just discovered this podcast and I’m so glad it exists. I’m giving 5 stars bc I want to boost visibility and we need more like it. I have 2 comments though that I hope will come across as constructive feedback and not hate – on the whole I am really enjoying this! 1– There are a lot of tangents which are often fun, but can make the discussion a little hard to follow (especially since I split episodes between commuting to & from work). Wondering if you’d consider doing shorter, more focused episodes sometimes? Maybe answering listener questions, or something else very specific? 2– One episode I’ve heard so far was extremely hard to listen to, and that was #38. In that episode, Sarah talks about feelings about the hyper couple-focused world we live in, and some of the things she shared felt extremely poignant, tender, and relatable to me. It felt really good to hear someone else expressing fears, doubts, and hard feelings that I too have felt. But I was really disappointed by Kayla’s responses, and in particular the way that Kayla seemed to be minimizing or dismissing Sarah’s feelings. For instance, Sarah expressed the fear that her friends are going to all couple up and disappear from her life, to which Kayla said something like “That won’t happen!” As a 30-yr-old demiaro ace, I HAVE lost friends this way. That kind of dismissal is what I get all the time from allo friends who Don’t Get It. Y’all clearly have a loving and beautiful friendship, and I trust that those comments probably didn’t hit Sarah the way they hit me. But I wanted to write an honest comment to y’all about how hard that was to hear. I hope that you’ll both stay as open & curious about each other’s different experiences as you would anyone else in the world to be, and encourage Kayla to remember that there are microacegressions that arospec people may experience that you don’t, and practice active listening always. I’m writing all of this from a place of love and appreciation for all you do, truly. Please keep it up.

There was a big, ace-sized hole where this podcast needed to be. Thank you for making it, ladies!
