Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 10.1k ratings
  • Great stories but miss old format

    I love listening to a lot of people tell their stories in an episode much more than one person being profiled for an entire episode, and it seems like the latter now occurs a lot more than the former.

  • Boo @ ad I keep hearing

    Very long time listener of this excellent show. I’m very disappointed to hear your wonderful voice doing ad reads for weight loss program “Hers,” Anna. It was especially off-putting in your most recent episode with the memoirist who was discussing her disordered relationship with her body and food. Weight loss simply does not work and the promotion of it is simply fatphobic. Please reconsider this sponsor, it is not a good look and is harmful to your listeners.

  • Ad overload

    Great show but since joining Slate it’s a wasteland of advertising. Recent episodes saw me clicking 15 seconds ahead to skip adds 20-30 times. Yeah, nah. Done.

  • Great show, not so great ad content

    I used to love this show, I still love the interviews and content but the amount of ad time is so high now that it really detracts significantly from the show. Way higher than any other podcast I listen to. The worst part is that I’m in the middle of an episode about unhealthy diet culture and there’s an ad in the middle, read by Anna, about a weight loss injectable drug. Absolutely tone deaf…
