Strange dynamic between hosts
The premise set up in the intro (Barry as cosmopolitan academic and Dave as country bumpkin) starts each episode off on the wrong foot. From there, it’s difficult not to hear that dynamic play out in each episode (eg, in the one I was just listening to, Dave refers to himself as “the village idiot” among the academic guests). I know this self deprecation is meant as a joke or politeness, but it plays badly. Dave’s insights are essential and possibly more important than Barry’s. No one needs more autism info from NTs alone. Further, ND listeners don’t need anything else in their lives to make them feel less-than. I believe Dave’s humble affect comes from good intentions, but I’d like him to set it aside, and I’d like to see Barry amplify Dave’s POV more. Maybe begin with a simple redo of the introduction!
