“I loved this podcast with a passion. A lot of what made this podcast great - a curious host, deep conversations, thorough and solid reporting - has been replaced by bad Millenial Vibes™️ (and I am a Millenial myself). It feels like it’s really taken a turn to something more “palatable” but totally lacking in much depth or personality. Add to this a host who seems a bit overly focused on her own opinions but won’t actually engage or interview deeply and it all feels pretty superficial and poorly scripted. I was so disappointed by the host’s work in the episode on “Am I Radical Enough?,” which had some good interviewing but was peppered with bad metaphor, like “next, we talk to a teen who was a Sophie, then a Zena, and back again...” when that interview happens, the host asks questions with some incredulosity in her voice around the topic compromise, all the while blandly voicing her own opinion - it felt like she was hardly listening. Why comment at all, if you’re admittedly torn on a topic? It’s hardly even a sound bite. I wanted her opinions less, and the reporting and interviews of people more.”
