The Stoop’s “In-laws” podcast: holier than thou and derogatory of non-conformist families

“I just listened to my first podcast from “The Stoop Storytelling Series”, called “In-Laws”. The second story proved to be highly critical of non-whitebread (and frankly normal)families, calling them “freaky families“. I’m amazed “The Stoop” chose to air this story. The storyteller, Sherry Mauers, was apparently shocked at her husband’s family, because his father married three times and there are people who don’t get along.
I think it’s sending a very superior and nasty message to anyone who didn’t happen to grow up in a “picture-perfect” conformist middle class nuclear-type family, to call other families “freaky“ and express worry that your children have to be around them. Many of the most resilient and intelligent people are the ones who grew up in just such families. Her daughters might do better to live in a world with some cultural differences and less homogeneity. Seriously, I felt like this story was a Christian story from the 1950s.”

“Overall well produced stories. Many are engaging. For me, I have to forward past the two hosts’s banter. Just painful to listen to them. Really awful. I’ve finally unsubscribed and scrub to where the story part begins. Do they even listen to their own tapes?”

“The Stoop Storytelling Series is a great regional brag for those of us in the Baltimore/DC/in-between orbit—it's local, it's accessible, and is deftly curated, counseled, and produced by Laura Wexler and Jessica Myles Henkin. It's on a par with more well-known storytelling series...”Read full review »
