  • Get rid of Lulu

    Lulu is both self absorbed and combative. She’s truly a bad interviewer who only wants to ask gotcha questions. The guests are always amazing but Lulu is just so bad.

  • Missing Lulu

    Lulu, I still miss the sound of your lovely voice every Sunday morning I can't bear to listen to NPR. It's not her fault, but the person that replaced you has a voice I can't abide. When I recall your sign off show and the emotion in your voice, I get emotional too.

  • Hosts are annoying

    I usually listen to The Daily in the morning. On weekends when The Interview is on I listen. I usually don’t finish the podcast bc I find the interviewers —especially Lulu—annoying and unbearable to listen to . She’s off putting and terrible interviewer. Michael barbaro is the only nyt host I can tolerate lol.

Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor Say the End of the World is Now on the Table
Q: What is End Times Fascism?
It is a concept tying together existential planetary crisis with a practical coalition of power, including religious zealots, tech billionaires, and ethno-nationalists, who believe the world must end or be transformed under their leadership, and who often pursue policies that accelerate crisis.
Ina Garten Says You Can Either Get on Her Train or Get Out of the Way
Q: What is your origin story and what memories shaped your drive to do things differently?
She describes a tough, unsupportive childhood and the later realization that she could choose her path, learning to rely on herself and eventually finding joy in her work through autonomy and purpose.
Ina Garten Says You Can Either Get on Her Train or Get Out of the Way
Q: Why did you want to have a podcast, which is nowadays a TV show and will be filmed?
She wanted to extend her connection with people and share stories in a way that feels like a genuine conversation, not just a performance, reflecting on childhood and the importance of human connection.
An Expert on Conflict Says Your Relationships Are Doomed Without It
Q: How should someone decide whether to engage in a conflict or walk away, especially in a family setting?
Decide based on whether engaging will deepen the relationship or protect safety; in some cases, stepping back and avoiding unnecessary conflict can preserve family bonds, while still addressing core issues later.
An Expert on Conflict Says Your Relationships Are Doomed Without It
Q: How do you handle conflict when one party is highly conflict-averse, including personal relationships?
She emphasizes staying in the heat, reframing conflict as an investment in the relationship, and using simple rituals like grounding techniques and clear, pro-social dialogues to keep wounds from worsening.
