- NYT needs to fire Lulu
Normally, I really enjoy in-depth interviews on this podcast. However, the number of odd, biased, and aggressive interviewing style questions when Lulu is on are making me question how in the world they’re approving these to go on air at this point. She needs to go.

I like the format of the interview but Lulu Navarro style is increasingly aggressive and is not only the Mayor’s interview I had seen the same style in other interviews. Is like she is trying to corner the person she is interviewing. The mayor’s interview for me was the last straw. I must likely pass future episodes when she is the person doing the interview.

Why the snarky and superior tone while managing to be completely uninformed about the basic differences between a party (Democrat) vs organization (DSA)?

Honestly this is where I finally lost all respect for NYT, their biases are all hanging out in the open on this one. If you can’t sp... more
Apple Podcasts1gabenotgabbyUnited Statesa month ago - Lulu Garcia Navarros badly veiled contempt is so off putting
I’ve enjoyed multiple episodes of this show and I’ve listened to Lulu Garcia Navarro for years when she was on NPR and I always liked her but in this show she is so oddly aggressive and off putting towards the people being interviewed that it’s uncomfortable to listen to. Specifically her very poorly veiled contempt toward anyone who is critical towards Israel. When she was like that with Tucker Carlson I was kind of like “ok I get it” because he’s a very polarizing and fringe figure but the way... more
