Talking Too Fast
The episode about education was well informed and went deep into the weeds, but Matt, always, talks too fast. Over the years, he seems to have increased the speed at which he talks. If I were an advertiser, I would insist that Matt not read my commercials because he speeds through them and is totally unconvincing. I got less than half of what Libby Nelson said. She talks so fast and tends to swallow her sentence endings too often. The poor third person on the podcast who didn’t speed talk barely was able to get and well articulated word in edgewise. Why have a third guest if he’s not allowed to talk. When Ezra, Sara and Matt were on The Weeds together, Ezra was able manage and harness Matt, but letting Matt host and manage the show is unleashing him to be a motormouth.

This is the first podcast of The Weeds I listened to and came away disappointed. It seemed to reflect Matthew Yglesias’ journalistic style - facile and struggling to make a holistic point. For the sake of a tone of jovial collegiality Ezra and Sarah seem overly willing to take a back seat to...Read full review »
