Rambling, no wit, no fun, and short on underlying ethical principles
I’m trying not to compare this podcast to Randy Cohen’s columns, or even to Klosterman’s attempted remake. The point-counterpoint format was a good idea, but fails dismally in execution. Too often the panelists have nothing relevant to add to each others’ rambling commentaries. Most often the panelists make no reference to ethical principles. Kenji (sp?) is consistently thoughtful and concise, the others drone. The subjects chosen are often more suitable for a “Miss Manners” column rather than ethical debate. A huge disappointment.
