Neither a celebration nor a proper critique.
I was excited for this podcast, and was ready to love it. It purported to be exactly what I was looking for: fans of the books that bravely unpacked its problematic content and creator. Unfortunately I got endless boring nitpicking instead. The hosts spend all their time critiquing small elements of the story, fun elements which should be expected and loved in a whimsical fantasy children's story. Suspension of disbelief doesn’t exist for these two. Worse, they aren’t addressing the isms. They mentioned fat phobia a couple times, but skated right on by the ableism. If you claim to be interested in justice but don’t have time to address ableism, I have little time for you. Why start a “fan” podcast if you have no joy at all for the books? If you do, maybe mention things you like a couple times. It’s not a deep dive if you simply list what happens while snarking about it. The jokes fall flat. The format is clunky. It comes off as un-researched and disorganized. No editing to speak of. Not insightful in the least.Read full review »

I didn't really see the interest in podcasts until I heard the promo for Gayly Prophet. Now I can't stop! T_TRead full review »

Finally an intersection of my two greatest interests. Just binged all the episodes so far while on a work trip and hanging out with lark and Jessie got me through all the boring corporate professional development which is the dream.
