“I preface by praising the content. It is fun and interesting to hear insights into the issues of the day with these two.
It’s the off-topic banter I object to.
I do not care about Scott Galloway’s endless personal stories of travel, celebrity, and licentiousness, all couched in self deprecating ED jokes. Honestly, it’s just kind of sad. I usually REALLY like his commentaries and insights, but it is a bit much to have 5 minutes of each podcast consumed by Small Things.
And Kara’s self-righteous tirades are both grating and vulgar. Her attack on Uri Berliner were particularly offensive. He was with NPR for >20 years, but he (perhaps sloppily) called out real problems at NPR, and was met with Kara’s strident, myopic, and useless ranting.
Perhaps I’m wrong, but would it hurt to just present the facts, issues, and opinions, leaving out the rest? It would make for a better podcast. I have the “skip 30 seconds” button memorized on my phone to relieve me of the banter.”
