Inappropriate Tone

“I want to like this podcast more than I do. It is very informative, and I have already learned a lot from the first 2 episodes. However, I find the jovial tone of the two hosts to be EXTREMELY problematic. I noticed this in the first episode and brushed it off, but it became very apparent in the second episode about the ships that carried enslaved peoples. The female host especially giggled several times, and then eventually, both hosts admitted that they needed to have “gallow’s humor” to discuss this. I doubt that descendants of people who survived these ships would have the same “humor.” Nothing about this is funny. Would you laugh when talking about the mechanics of a gas chamber? I chalk this up to white privilege and discomfort. But I’d rather they not talk at all if they can’t handle what they’re saying with any sense of maturity or respect for the generational trauma those voyages caused.”
