“I loved this podcast when it first came out - the highlight of my weeks commute - but since the last hiatus it’s lost that magic that made me love it in the beginning.
It feels like the format has veered more towards being a literary based podcast with recommendations of books & articles taking up a good chunk of the recording and author specials every other episode. I love literature and I used to find that side of the podcast great when balanced with other things, but it can get monotonous as the main topic of the podcast.
I also loved the discussion of current affairs at the beginning, which appears to have disappeared almost completely now. It feels like Pandora has disconnected from pop culture (which I understand with two young children) but it means she sometimes appears disengaged with Dolly which is shame as they had such a great dynamic previously.
I don’t normally leave reviews but I really did love the podcast previously, and it would be great to see a little more of the old format & content seep back in!”
