“I have to laugh when some of y’all who’ve stated you’ve been listening and following for years suddenly deem this podcast series too one-sided or too focused on lgbtq stories.
1) It’s ONE season. That’s been put out within THREE (short, not nearly year-long) months. And it’s just 12 episodes dedicated to an lgbtq theme, out of literally hundreds of episodes/stories from Story Corps. And it’s in honor of an important anniversary year for this group of people (Stonewall Riots for those who genuinely don’t know).
2) On June 28th, 2018, they liiiiiterally dropped an episode to tell us about the new format of the podcast - which they said would be mini seasons with 12 episodes focusing on a singular theme. The first theme was reunions - so my rhetorical question to everyone commenting on how the lgbtq theme is too narrow & seemingly unending, did y’all have these same issues with the first mini season topic about reunions/reuniting? The answer is no, because I had time today & I looked back at the reviews from around that first mini season (last October) & there was one complaint about the format itself, not the topic, of the “Reunion” season.
3) The history of Story Corps is full of specific projects, with books & animated series tht focus on particular topics, like 9/11, mothers, teachers/students, criminal justice, etc. So this isn’t new or out of character for Story Corps... and if it feels new to you, then you haven’t been listening closely and/or you’ve got an issue with this mini-season being about lgbtq voices. Those aren’t reasons to poorly rate the podcast. If you don’t like trans&queer ppl, keep your hate to yourself and move along.
4) Finally y’all, and I say this with love because I also remind myself of this all the time, the podcast, like many things in this big world, isn’t about YOU. It’s about humanity, which is ALL the people, not just people you agree with or feel similar to. If this season doesn’t speak to you that’s valid & fine, just wait for the next season, which is right around the corner, since the 12 episodes on the lgbtq have already concluded.”

“I only listen to 3 podcasts and this one is my number one. My only wish is that the episodes were longer but perhaps that's the magic of it. Short and sweet but powerful.”Read full review »
