- 2/9/ episode confirmed it. Amazing!
This podcast gives me everything I need - and the 2nd of September episode was such a fabulous example, particularly your response to those attacking you for criticising content creators going to Afghanistan. Sorry that you’ve been targeted by people with worms for brains recently — we need voices like yours to hit back at poor information literacy while also allowing fun :)

United Kingdoma month ago - The absolute best
For years I had struggled to find a podcast, especially as a Palestinian who didn’t feel safe listening to many. BST has become my safe space. I especially appreciated their mature and thoughtful response to Chloe’s video addressing their segment on influencers in Afghanistan. As always, love your work, genuineness and authenticity. You make young women proud.

Apple Podcasts5RoseMBTSAustraliaa month ago - Classy and clever
Classy response to the Chloe Barry hang controversy. Always look forward to listening every week and am stoked the creators I support are so rational, kind and mature.
Apple Podcasts5BeabadoobeebecAustraliaa month ago - Love it although room for improvement
Update* (original review below) the research in “small talk” continues to fall short. There is an error in information on almost every ep. Sarah’s research into the Chloe/Afghanistan trip was yet another example of this.
I have really struggled recently with the pop culture segments. There has been incorrect info on a few topics which are basic. The analysis of the pop culture/small talk segments lack depth and have at times been out of touch with the broader conversation occurring in the su... more
