Reviews
- Great series thanks to a journalistic lens
Hamish is a generous, gently probing host - showing his reporting background. Makes for interesting conversations.

Had a lot of respect for this podcast until you interviewed Jessica Reed Kraus. She’s problematic and privileged. She is not a reporter, she’s a gossip columnist that has been open about not needing to report facts. She needs to get a hobby so she’s not bored

My favorite new podcast
Apple Podcasts5Jenny FocaultUnited States2 years ago - thank you!
Please bring in Justin E. H. Smith. Reading his The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is renews my hope for reading. This new podcast too. No actual rating because I've yet to listen in full. But thanks still, thanks, and for Substack itself.
