United Statesa month ago - Funny and informative
I’m a young GenX-er and don’t want to be on Tik Tok or chronically online. But I do what to know what’s going on! This show helps with that.
Apple Podcasts5StephNateHollisUnited Statesa month ago - Cool topics, horrible host
Cool topics, but the host is irritating and will figure out her take on an issue in real time, often missing a very obvious explanation.
Apple Podcasts1ms.northdakotaUnited States2 months ago - One-sided & Boring
The lengths the podcast host /guest will go to to defend a celebrity they like makes it unlistenable. It’s like listening to a kid tell you all about their favorite celebrity and they leave out all the parts that makes them look bad.
Apple Podcasts2catstepsUnited States2 months ago - Used to be a fan
But slate is now obsessed with dragging Lindy West as much as possible to cling to relevance and it’s really sad. I didn’t even like her book that much but I don’t think that it’s a good look for slate to be treating her like she’s evil because they don’t think she’s okay with her polyamorous situation. They might be right but I don’t think she deserves what they are doing to her. And slate hasn’t been good since Danny Lavery left anyway.
