I’m a big fan of Amanda’s, but not a fan of the revamped pod. I much preferred the previous version.
This was a hard listen. I really enjoy Amanda’s subject matter and perspective, but this guest was not comprehensive in her approach or articulate. Also, how do you compare Satanic Panic, which has very little to no evidence of victims, to the trans identifying increase and phenomenon? There are so many stories from real people that feel wronged by this movement and are detransitioning.
Yes please bring Who’s Right back :-)
I just finished listening to the Rick Steves interview. Another refreshing set of insights about growth, responsibility, and appreciation of what we have (and don’t).
If you’ve never listened to Amanda (& Chris) speak: you’ve missed out on how sharp minded, articulate, kind & brilliant she is. The show is well researched and has a true depth to its subjects and what the guests and the host(s) bring. The things you learn and consider stay with you and are applicable to a number of life situations. The stories are more than stories: there’s a philosophical component, a spiritual one, plus always lots of compassion, and focus on a hope we will work together bett... more
