Great to hear the wonderful & brave Ric Esther Bienstock, especially after having just watched her fascinating documentary ‘Speechless’, which left me speechless. Thank you.
Potentially interesting subject and the guest is a good talker, but the presenter needs a little help. Some voice training. Better research so the guest isn’t correcting you on the basics. Most important of all, short, single idea questions. No more than 10-15 seconds — thirty to forty five words. At one point after a lengthy meander the guest had to admit she didn’t know what she’d just been asked. If you would like people to pay for your content, it needs to be made professionally.
I get emails from quillette with articles, but to read them I need to click on “read now“ a link to quillette.com which simply cannot be opened. I just get a white page. Are the thought police censoring quillette, or is the website taken down and the emails Phishing? Podcast is good though.
The background music during monologues neither sets tone nor enhances. It is quite distracting, actually.
Used to listen but stopped due to Iona Italian’s insipid delivery. From the other reviews, I see that I’m not the only one.
