Liked Felix back in the day, but he can’t helm this podcast.
He’s never wrong, condescending and disrespectful to Elizabeth Spiers, and his Wealthy Class privilege seeps through every single out of touch take on the economic realities of the majority.
Where goeth the grace and humility?
Surely the salmon guy is a gay ? He seems to hate on that spiders woman
slate is now obsessed with dragging Lindy West as much as possible to cling to relevance and it’s really sad. I didn’t even like her book that much but I don’t think that it’s a good look for slate to be treating her like she’s evil because they don’t think she’s okay with her polyamorous situation. They might be right but I don’t think she deserves what they are doing to her. And slate hasn’t been good since Danny Lavery left anyway.
Nadia and Felix need their own podcast please!!
Now this is what cohosting sounds/ looks like!
Sharp/ smart fun
More please
Good luck finding a podcast host more annoying or prone to bad takes than Felix Salmon. Remember when he claimed the banking sector was 'fine' in 2007? Or when he predicted the death of the stock market in 2011? He even pushed a shaky $400 billion fraud story in 2021. Why do people still listen to someone who is so confidently wrong, so often?
