Great guests, too much Twitter
The guests are great and I respect Daum’s thoughts, but she too often derails a good conversation by bringing it back to Twitter controversies that neither the guests nor I have any background on or interest in. I found the episode on trans kids very complex, nuanced and compassionate, until Meghan derailed the convo to ask why trans activists on twitter act so “unhinged.” It was a jarring shift in tone and depth when the guest never spoke about her trans-identified patients in those terms. Similar derailing of the convo on the machinery of identity politics to talk at length about the Cuties Twitter controversy. This podcast is in many ways better than many lefty podcasts that just point out how dumb people online are, which makes it more frustrating when it turns into a rehashing of whatever online controversy is making the rounds that day. I’d like to hear an interview where Daum doesn’t use the guest’s remarks to make a point about how some people on the internet are wrong.

I really enjoy the smart feminist conversations. The trans discussion was excellent, clearly explaining the social contagion and hysteria aspect of the topic. Thank you Meghan!

I always enjoy this podcast and the most recent one discussing the challenges of making art with today’s challenged economics was incredibly candid and interesting. A real window into so many thoughts and anxieties that people across the spectrum have.

Embarrassing for you to mock Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying in one podcast for their (actually) nuanced views on both the covid vaccines and Ivermectin, and then to have them on a later podcast, couching your questions as necessary because your listeners would be upset if you didn’t push back....Read full review »
