“Every now and then there’s a good moment. But every time a guest starts to say something interesting, instead of digging in, Rachel says, Well, onto the next card! The format is fine in theory but for me, doesn’t beget the kind of conversations that make interview podcasts interesting. My other gripe is how frequently Rachel pathologizes her guests (I stopped after two episodes, if was unbearable in the Bowen episode) and how often she turns the conversation back to her own life and experiences. I get the idea of a two-way chat but I found myself skipping through. I came for Rachel because I loved her from UpFirst, but this just isn’t it for me.”
