I’m sure Lindsay is a talented and intelligent person, but being talented does not mean you will be a good podcast host; it is a specific skill set that clearly goes unappreciated by this publication. The production and conception of each episode feel like an afterthought. It’s just an all-around...Read full review »

Please bring back the topic episodes, these interviews are so boring. The cut has so many cool articles I wish this podcast reflected that.

I used to love this podcast and now I have to be desperate for entertainment to listen. Lindsay seems like a cool girl but she doesn’t have the charisma to carry a show. Please bring in some more energy!

This used to be one of my favourites, I love LPW but I do feel like she’s not the best interviewer, with guests she has interest in the quality is good, but when she doesn’t I find it quite difficult to listen to as she seems very un-engaged with the guest and just is reading off her planned...Read full review »

Like so many others, I was an avid listener since 2019. I find this “new” continent quite boring and repetitive and miss the old cultural reporting days full of fun juicy reporting. Where’s the pop culture! The deep dives! Explorations of femininity and power! Come back Imy :’(

I miss the older days of The Cut. The in her shoes episodes are getting repetitive and are so boring.
netxnic via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/23
I wish they did more stories and less interviews, they’re boring!
Bostonbub00001 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/24/23
Please bring back the podcasts with different topics. I hate “In her shoes” it’s the same thing over and over no matter the guest. I miss the old topics in which we could relate to. I miss coming on here excited on what the topic would be.

I agree strongly with another reviewer who said we could use more of the 2019-style episodes where the interviews felt intentional and not like something to just fill up the feed. There was also another reviewer who said this podcast may be too young for them, a millennial, and that it might be...Read full review »

The 2019 episodes were so amazing! The interviews that have been keeping the feed active are boring and feel like a barely restrained yawn in a mandatory meeting.

I started listening to The Cut’s podcast when Avery Trufelman was hired and stuck with it after she left. The narrative story telling and deeper dives into topics covered in the magazine were great. Since the podcast has exclusively become the “In Her Shoes” conversations it has gone downhill....Read full review »

As a faithful “Sound Opinions” listener, I enjoyed hearing a different take on the R. Kelly debacle on this podcast. However, I found it journalistically questionable to not directly credit Jim Derogatis, and instead just refer to “that columnist at the Chicago Sun-Times”.

I love the episodes with a subject, but the interviews are boring. 🥱
Queefqueen2016 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/16/22
Love that the episodes can be about so many different things!!
elizhb via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/16/22
The Cut is such a great column because it has sass, snark, and a point of view. This podcast is just canned interviews that put me to sleep. Needs a new host who brings more energy to the table.
ClairePDX12 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/13/22
I always enjoy the episodes but what is going on with this show? All of the hosts the past few years have been great and the stories give the essence of what I like about The Cut but there is no consistency. I am genuinely curious why they keep changing hosts and take breaks from putting out...Read full review »

I like this podcast, the topics are interesting and short enough to listen in one sitting. But there’s one thing that makes me reach for the pause button as fast as I can—vocal fry. I would love to, in the nicest way possible, just suggest to some of the reporters to have some awareness of the...Read full review »
SarahInChicago via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/22
I’m not sure what happened to this podcast in the past 1-2 years but it has gone downhill. Hosts cultivating self absorbed, bratty narratives laced with annoying vocal fry. Yuck. Unsubscribing today.
treehouse50 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/24/21
Love some of the segments, but miss avery. Cant put my finger on why this version is a bit meh, in comparison but it is. Im not itching to listen anymore
tarainlondon via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/22/21
BA Parker’s episodes are the best!!! More of her plz!! The latest episode about money didn’t sit well with me. The interviewer just giggled when the out of touch bro described his “broke” friend who earns $150,000 a year.
ca$hmoney1243 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/09/21
Occasionally there are interesting episodes, but nowhere near as intimate or thought provoking as before. I don’t want to blame the reporters, because I get the feeling that they’re being pressured into taking the show in a new pop-y direction. Ever since they got rid of the old host I’ve noticed...Read full review »

You got that Ivy League education and that dream NYC / LA job and ur soooooo sad and angry.
Dill BeBasio via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/01/21
Didn’t this come out already in March of 2021? Love the episode, but I’m just confused..
kristyq🌟💫✨ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/17/21
The episode on “Your Antivaxxer…” assumes that there is/should be only one perspective. This might be called a novel viral implicit bias, not a cut, but a dull blade slipping over a narrative that deserves slicing and dicing with a sharp investigative journalism tool.
Cindarama via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/06/21
I really enjoyed the first round of this show, and am very happy to see it back
LadyAudleysSecret via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/23/21
I may have gotten her name wrong but I thoroughly enjoyed the episode on the black girl side kick. Brought me back to my childhood where black characters were few and I would grasp at anyone who looked like me. Well done!!
Tech savvyish via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/28/21
I’ve tried, but the newest iteration of the podcast is so trite. Each episode offers up 30+ minutes of the most flat, obvious angle on a topic that’s often been wildly over-covered already. No interesting angles, very little depth. So disappointing because this used to be one of my very favorite...Read full review »

This episode is SO good. Truly excellent job Schuyler Swenson. The flow made a lot of sense. I liked the interviews, I learned a lot and I was moved.
RBeyB via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/28/21
Really enjoying the last few episodes produced by Jaz. It feels like going back to the original tone of this show. While I loved Avery’s work for 99pi, I wasn’t as into their episodes of The Cut.
cassca55 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/22/21
I absolutely LOVED the episode, Can Poker Help You Win at Life? I think this is such an important topic in today’s world. I love how diverse the topics are, although only started listening to recently. I tend to get bored of mainstream podcasts because it is usually only focuses on limited...Read full review »

There’s a lot less substance in the commentary than there used to be. Feels amateur, younger, immature.
lk610 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/25/21
I think this show is strongest when the hosts bring in the perspectives of more mature and experienced women- I’m glad that the “In Her Shoes” segment is back. The rest of it has gotten- and I’m so sorry to say this- really cringe and navel gazy. It feels like The Cut is trying to pivot to a...Read full review »

Ads
First and last episode I listened to, there was an ad for Facebook/Instagram targeted ads. This is the opposite of what I’m looking for, and Im a millenial.
LibListener via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/18/21
I love the subject matter of all the podcasts eps and how it mixes it up. Avery is an awesome host and her voice is absolutely gorgeous I just love listening to it.
janejanesuperbrain via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/21
I liked the earlier version of the podcast. The newest incarnation feels like a caricature of in touch urbanites. I had to stop listen ingredients when Alison Bechdel intoned about Buddhist practice and exercise. The host may be good at giving women who live in cities what is marketed to them,...Read full review »
AnotherPodcastEnthusiast via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/21
I feel like this podcast aligns so much with my interests! Also what I really enjoy is how much it expands my existing interests. You don’t just listen and think that was good. There is usually a book I want to read after listening or an episode directs you to another thing to investigate.
Kdeea via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/19/21
Every episode hits just right. I was so sad when they decided to stop, and this is such a delicious and necessary treat to have this show back.
bobeatbobworld via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/14/21
Bring back Molly Fischer!
CurlingFan20 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/14/21
I absolutely loved how open and honest Avery was with her own thoughts and feelings about motherhood. So real without the need to sugar coat. I really appreciated this super honest conversation as a 41 year old woman who just finally decided kids are not going to be happening in this lifetime....Read full review »
Oliviakun via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/12/21
Hit and miss! Cringed my way through the episode with Brock from San Diego - too many recorded "genuine" conversations and intimate moments for the sake of one person trying to say.... something?... about post-vaccine life in a podcast. I did really enjoy the recent episode about racist...Read full review »

Was listening to another Vox podcast and heard the commercial for this one (specifically the sober in pandemic one) and decided to check it out. The episode itself was pretty good and I’m likely to check out a couple more to see if it’s my thing. My biggest issue was the opening ad during the...Read full review »

LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE. Seriously. Right now. You won’t regret it. It’s in investment in understanding yourself, your relationships, and your work life in this Covid moment.
Pattobutter via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/23/21
The strongest episodes are ones where the producers are acting as an ensemble. Love the episodes hosted by BA Parker. Episodes around important topics like alcohol and age felt alienating and like they missed the mark. Love you Avery but not all of your opinions are gospel.
Dannerzz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/21/21
A few interesting topics. Countless trite cliches. No real insight.
bjohns383 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/19/21
I want so badly to like this podcast. As a professional millennial woman living in a big city, i think I am the demographic. I continue to listen every week even though I struggle to finish every episode. The topics are interesting, and there are usually a couple sound bites throughout that I...Read full review »
Marycchayden via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/21
The current host has a way of talking about the questions that are on her mind as if they are the questions that are on everyone’s mind. The episodes are like existentialist thought pieces for recently woke people. Instead of learning about the world and the people in it, we learn about some...Read full review »

I followed Avery here after listening to Articles of Interest and her appearances on 99pi... but whoever is producing this podcast is not putting the work in. It’s the equivalent of listening to a couple of your most uninformed friends chatting about their feelings about a topic... maybe...Read full review »
