  • A snowflake writes....

    You do yourself a real discredit by opening with the lazy and offensive phrase ‘stale, pale and male’. Even as someone who thinks your podcast addresses an extremely important and much neglected topic, I was immediately less inclined to hear what you have to say. One hopes your advocacy isn’t littered with such clumsy use of language.
