“I welcomed Dr Soh’s entry into podcasting. The podcasting genre needs hosts who know a subject/s well and can shed light as well as heat. I admire Dr Soh for her writings and the way she conducts herself in print and online. I hope, with a few tweaks, that her podcast might become more incisive and gain a wider listernership. Anyone familiar with my podcast reviews will know that vocal fry is a major turn-off for me. I’m a 50-something guy grown up listening up properly trained voices via the BBC. I do occasionally hear vocal fry from Dr Soh but she is well above the low bar set by the This American Life and its imitators
My few critiques … I would like Dr Soh to be a bit more ‘interventionist’ … her subjects have the floor for lengthy periods in the podcasts. I appreciate its hard to interrupt a speaker; it’s also not the Canadian way to interject. Meghan Daum is a good example of a podcaster/interviewer who interrupts but keeps an interview flowing. I temper my critique by acknowledging it’s not necessarily easy for any person to switch from the rigours of academia to a potentially combative medium
I know Dr Soh’s Twitter page has her podcast summed up as taking to the anti-woke about their personal lives and politics. In my critique/suggestion that follows, I’m pitching for a pivot
The best podcasts, in my opinion, are not where Jordan Peterson Mark Steyne Nigel Farage Ben Shapiro talk at the listener. North America is flooded with Crowder Kelly Shapiro types. I think Dr Soh’s style is rightfully too nuanced to compete with stampede of the furious and the outraged.
The best podcasts are with people who 1) don’t have their own widely-known blog/YouTube/podcast 2) know how to have a conversation and aren’t conditioned by shouty US cable news-style combat 3) have a specific knowledge and can talk without being hyperbolic
As for subject matter … whenever I see *any* podcast having reference to critical race theory, I mark-as-played. Hearing Dr Soh’s version of the taking points of CrowderSchapiroKellyBeckCarlson won’t have me tuning in
I would most certainly tune in, and share, programs which are with Dr Soh’s academic bailiwick. Sex, sexuality, gender are universal; saving women’s sports from trans-indentifying men has been covered a lot by Megan Kelly and Meghan Daum … they, I say with respect, we’re just journalists doing their best. There are many more gender critical voices that would do well to be heard. Dr Soh would be the ideal podcaster to get these voices on air. Sex, sexuality, and gender have manifestations in every part of life. What is the gender ideology doing to the military? What is GI doing to theatre and movie-making worldwide? What is GI doing in videogaming and game development, an area where girls and women are notoriously excluded and hassled? Why is the IOC so pro-trans? Who is pushing back against the IOC?
All of my suggestions sound like too much work for one person. I bet there would some university students who would welcome a chance to be a researcher for Dr Soh and gain contacts and work experience”

“Dr Soh’s podcast has taught me so so much in such a short amount of time. Exposing all the half truths and flat out propaganda being pushed. All while doing it in a loving way, and the soothing voice isn’t hard on the ears. This is a must listen for parents, future parents, or honestly anyone who...”Read full review »
