“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. The range of guests is great but the questions are often very surface and don’t make connections to a larger story. Like how does the podcast connect to the magazine now, other than the fact that Lindsay hosts it? Also, the episode intro where Lindsay says these are people we love, admire “or just find interesting” sounds SO condescending to me. I think The Cut needs to invest in rebuilding the podcast staff and finding a new vision for the content or just stop doing the pod.”
