United States21 days ago - Great podcast but the concern isn’t ignorable
This show seems well done. However, I just listened to my second episode, exulting the enthusiasm of the host and / or pushing this storyline where Robert Durst’s confesses two crimes unaware he’s still wired in the bathroom. Anybody who’s wondering what the issue is - he didn’t say “killed them all, of course” in that order. The film or rather audio in this instance, was not authentically arranged, but rearranged to produce the most alarming result, and is therefore disingenuous.

Apple Podcasts2Potter Lee DBUnited States22 days ago - July show about Eleni
“Um, like, you know, I mean like…”
Half of the podcast narration is a vacuous, meaningless, irritating, and repetitive “um, like, you know, like, I mean.”
Apple Podcasts3AllcladUnited Statesa month ago - unlistenable journalist
I thought I would try this podcast so I tuned into the episode on the Godmother of weed. About five minutes and I had to tune out because the journalist being interviewed was so painful to listen to. Is it not possible to edit out the continuous use of “um” or maybe advise guests on their speech patterns? My goodness people really need to practice their speech before they go on a podcast.

Canada2 months ago - Kathleen is fantastic
Biggest loser ep: “but you don’t have to talk about that. I will”. Haha I love Kathleen.
I’ve been listening for awhile and I love how she mentions potential blind spots or missed opportunities her guests failed to discuss in their own shows, without calling them out. Like mentioning the ‘angry black woman’ trope in this latest episode. As much as I liked the biggest loser tv documentary, I was surprised they didn’t discuss that.
