“I saw the episode on musicals. Unfortunately it was one of the most frustrating podcasts I have ever listened to. It was terribly provincial and biased. I listen to this podcast many times and expected so much more.
It’s shoddy not to have a serious discussion to the ethics of this act, after all it is deception to falsely advertise a service or a product. This is not a minor omission. It’s lying about the essence of the product or service. It’s like being advertised for a video game console and getting a TV instead. If you watch a trailer that is selling a dialogue base movie and instead the movie is expressed through song, it is a completely different kind of movie. You are deceptively being sold a product you are not buying. I was shocked you didn’t discuss the ethical implications of this deception. For a family, going to the movies, can easily be $100 or more, perhaps to you that doesn’t seem like a lot of money but to many it is.
And finally the assertion that if you are not into musicals you are bigoted. That is just mind boggling. So according to that logic if your favorite color is blue you must be a misogynist. You are claiming that your personal taste in a movie genre is surreptitious hiding a deep seeded homophobia, I’m Dumbfounded.”
