You appear to be smart and knowledgeable , but your overuse of “like” makes you unlistenable to me. You like use like over and over and like over again. It is hard to take you serious with like so much like use of like like.
Best news I’ve had in a while, cannot wait! Ps Joanna what about
Callum Turner in War and Peace? Xo
I'm sure this could be a good podcast if they removed all the forced laughter
The House of R crew does nothing halfway. I appreciate that they sprinkle fun chats into their breakdowns and seem to be having a great time along the way. I don’t watch everything they cover but sometimes I’m convinced to pick something up just bc they’re covering it! Have been a huge fan for many years.
I continue to be amazed at how annoying and immature Mallory is. Please stop cackling into the mic. Please also recognize how long you’ve been talking and let other people contribute to the conversation. Also, stop with the constant sex jokes. You’re too old for that.

The show's standout approach is a balance of rigor and warmth, with longform explorations that feel like guided nerd-culture conversations, memorable quotables, and frequent shout-outs to fans.
