Being a Modern Novelist was an excellent episode. More like this please!
The interviews are interesting, well researched, and thoughtful. However, I have to note the irony of Kara hawking a supplement immediately after a segment in the “Wellness Grifters” episode that discussed why podcasters and other influencers doing exactly that shouldn’t be trusted. It was pretty hard to take the rest of that episode seriously. All that said, on balance the show is worth listening to once in a while. I’d give it a 3.5 and wouldn’t round up, hence the 3 stars given.
Loved all the interviews, but especially the Rosie interview.
Kara is so smart, funny, curious, genuine, and fearless about getting at all the details. The second I think of something I’d like to know, she’s already asking it! I particularly loved the Rosie O’Donnell interview. I love both of them so much and I can only hope to be as thoughtful and brave as they are.
Thanks for connecting us to your world, Kara, and to the worlds of your incredible guests.
