“The show seems unusually focused on the over the top personality of the host. Would prefer for the story to take more of center stage. Also takes kind of a shrill and strident tone that feels off when you’re talking about things like genocide. Just too much hyperbole for a publication like the LA Times that guards its credibility and reputation for precision so carefully. I know everyone involved will continue to refine, and I’m hopeful about where things will go over the long term. The ep on El Salvador, for instance, seemed like a step in the right direction. The ep on Flaming Hot Cheetos was also a little more calm, but that one had another flaw that I think runs through the podcast at times: It didn’t set up the story that well. The assumption is that everyone had read the story so it took that background knowledge for granted and gave short shrift to the audio storytelling possibilities of what could have been a true yarn. Then it moved quickly to a Times staffer talking about how she loved Flaming Hot Cheetos in a way that again seems to needlessly elevate the personalities, opinions and experiences of the journalists, whether they are interesting to the rest of us or not.”
