  • John

    John is not only slow-witted but has poor taste to boot. (Everyone else is doing their best). He has given a new favorite hate-listen in podcasting. How he made it to Vanity Fair is ludicrous. He's vapid, sketchy on facts, and has low brow taste.

    Spare us all and get this guy off the pod. And perhaps a nasal strip too? Yikes.

  • A shame

    This podcast has gone way downhill since Vanity Fair let go of Richard Lawson and David Canfield. Glad Rebecca is still there but the new co-host is abysmal. Unsubscribing because of John Ross.

  • I think I’m done here

    John is actively damaging the show with his self-satisfied vapidness. He takes up so much space while offering nothing insightful.
