“Last night I downloaded a bunch of these and was very dissappointed. I started with the podcast for Yuletide Fortune Tellers because that to me was an amazing episode embedded with all kinds of meaning and you treated it like it was some flimsy, Christmas romp. You spent most of the time describing the episode which wasn't necessary and you did it with a sarcastic tone on voice. Instead you should have been of talking about not only the things happened because the switch didn't happe, but also the things that didn't happen in their lives, for example: John only played one season baseball, that's why he was a stay at home dad...you apparently missed that in your viewing, though. That episode was layered, and yes it was far-fetched, but that's the beauty of the medium, we aren't watching TV or Switched at Birth because everything is so true-to-life, we are watching because of the drama and the emotion and because it makes you think. That episode was full of 'what if' questions that went way beyond the garlic knots that you spent so much time railing on--yeah, we know it's just bread. Your final analysis in your wrap up was so weak it sounded like the summary in an 8th grade book report. You started off the segment saying you were hoping for something more akin to It's a Wonderful Life but instead you got Freaky Friday. No, you got what you asked for, you just missed it. You missed the underlying message that each life touches another and when you disrupt the balance all things change, for instance, Emmett was a very different person without the Daphne and sober Regina relationship in his life. There were so many great threads to explore in that episode, it's too bad you blew it off. I listed to a couple more podcasts after that, they were slightly better when your cohost was there, but not much. You don't spend nearly enough time diving into some of the finer points of this show. This isn't just a teen drama, it has depth and you both miss a lot of it. The analysis might be better done by some people who have knowledge of social psychology and interest in exploring cultural values and mores. You don't seem like you want to really dig into the show's deeper stuff and that's a shame because there is so much there.”
