First season better than second

“I would give the first season 5 stars. Incredible look inside Mother Theresa’s world. They talked to many different people to get a variety of perspectives but they’re all part of that world. Really fascinating, and so different from how most of us see her and her world.
The second season looks at some really important issues in the ballet world and does it in very interesting and personal ways: firsthand accounts of sexual misconduct, homophobia, sexism, racism, body image, etc.
But it has a couple of problems. First, while each episode stands well on its own, the season as a whole is confusing: Is it about Balanchine? Or is it about the New York City Ballet? Is it about ballet in general?
Second, it’s very difficult to do a podcast about an art form that is mainly visual. When it comes to choreography and the movements, a picture or video are worth far more than a thousand words. After listening to the words, I tried to Google how Balanchine’s arabesque is different because I wanted to see it and not just hear a description of it. If I could rate the seasons separately, I’d give the second season 4 stars.”

“Excellent podcast, had to binge it over three days. Went on a journey from "well, isn't that what the life of a nun is supposed to be?" to a more nuanced understanding of the MCs and issues within. Now I just need to find something else this good to listen to.”Read full review »

“As an ex-Catholic, listening to this made me reflect on how suffering is seen as a virtue. It is so damaging and harmful this “virtue” has kept women trapped in cycles of abuse.”
