  • My happy place

    I love this podcast so much. I save it for Saturday mornings. It’s my favorite way to recharge and start the weekend. The hosts are so knowledgeable about a wide range of topics. I always leave having learned something knew or with a new book recommendation.

  • Such a shame!

    I absolutely love (ahem - loved) Critics at Large. It was a smart, fun, culture podcast that felt like sitting with the smart kids in English class. Until, they tried unveiling “Help, I need a critic.” What a disaster! Wittiness turned to banality. I found the episode extremely cringeworthy. Please - please drop this new concept and stick with what works. Smart repartee on a pre-planned topic!
