Review of The Strange and Unusual Podcast - Stories are Good

Stories are Good

☆

“This podcast has a lot of potential. The stories are good. The diction of the speaker is sometimes very good, and other times, words are slurred together. Fine for native English speakers, very hard for someone whose language is not English. The main problem I am having is with Alyson beating us over the head with feminist theory or "enlightenment" ideas. We know that women are judged by a different standard, you don't have to point it out every time it comes up. It's obvious. We also know that one man's superstition might be another man's religion. Again, don't beat us over the head with it. Assume that your audience is as smart as you are, and the psycho-sexual-social-justice stuff is just as apparent to the listeners as it is to you. It makes the story lag and is distracting to hear you stopping the flow the make the point that "this is sexist" or that is "superstitious".. The stories have much more flavor if you leave those judgements to the reader. The topics are good, and I think with some work this could be a really good podcast. Also, the podcast is labelled "clean lyrics" in the iTunes store despite having a fair amount of swearing in it. Either change the label, or change the language. Either one is fine.”Read full review »
