“I tried listening to this pod for a while and wasn’t sure what to make of it. I find the voicemails received interesting, but the hosts provide little meaningful “analysis” of the voicemails. Sometimes Tawny provides counterpoints on why a situation might not be intentionally racist, but for Andrew, the answer is always that everything is racist & he usually ends up persuading Tawny away from any slightly different opinions she might have had. The rest of the pod is spent talking about boring Hollywood banter I don’t really care about usually. Tawny always says, “this isn’t a news show”, or “this isn’t a (fill in the blank) show”, and in a recent episode said something to the effect of “we aren’t experts in race issues”. So what is the point of the show then? From what I gather, it’s to have pointless Hollywood banter through the lens of extreme leftism. I am more liberal leaning myself, but these are the type of people who make normal liberals look bad. They are like the liberal equivalent of Marjorie Taylor Greene, and they surround themselves with only other extremists such that they think of themselves as the “normal” ones and everyone else is just asleep/ blind to their cause. To give them a small amount of credit, they do say reasonable & thoughtful things occasionally, but then they dilute that message with copy and pasted rhetoric from others with similar views. I can translate for myself through the rhetoric, but I’ve decided that it’s not really worth my time to do so anymore as there are better pods out there.”
