  • UGH!!

    Miss the old gifted trio—and now in fall ‘25 truly annoyed by John Ross, both REALLY grating voice and pushy manner, as well as generally empty banal comments. Poor VF choice—just can’t listen to this train wreck just to pull out Rebecca’s savvy comments.

  • Rough Listen

    Did Vanity Fair even bother listening to their new host? Perhaps a face for TV but definitely not a voice for radio. Slow, grating, no energy - got through half the Emmy episode and turned it off as I couldn’t listen anymore. Rebecca, David and Hilary are great. Bring back Richard and David C!

  • What a loss

    I can’t imagine the tenor in the room when the new editorial staff decided to kneecap this once-great podcast by literally jettisoning one of the premiere critical talents of our generation. Honestly I’m torn whether to continue listening given Richard and David’s departures. This used to be required listening but now I see myself increasingly scrolling past when new eps show up in my feed. I know times are tough in publishing but you invest in talent like David and Michael, you don’t downgrade ... more

    New cast is a fail! What were they thinking? It is obvious there is no synergy amongst these new people what used to be an engaging, enlightening and fun to listen to podcast is now boring and flat. RIP, Richard and David.
