    The review (or debate or whatever that was supposed to be) of Hart’s book was unlistenable. The fellow who fancies himself so important as to use voice altering technology should not opine on books he has not read. Please don’t waste our time.

  • The content is sometimes interesting, but a lot of the guests are not very good speakers, and the pod producer doesn't edit to make it more listenable. Also the audio quality is sometimes bad.

  • There is some good content here, but Ashley's pathological and psychotic hatred and disrespect for "the childless" is really fucked up. She is a real piece of work.
