This podcast was great at the beginning, offering a sane alternative from extreme views from both sides of the political and cultural spectrum.
Then at some point she started spiraling into MAGA and kept talking about “nuance” where no nuance was present (i guess she has a different definition). The worst were her dialogues with that stupid jenny holland (brexit fan who refuses to see the reality of brexit, maga anti immigrant who lives in the uk, etc) So pathetic and ridiculous
There are so many generalizations and blanket statements here that just seem unconnected to reality.
I’m really interested in a lot of the guests and topics of this show but so many times have had to stop listening mid-episode (most recently phoebe maltz bovy) because I can’t stand listening to Meghan shout over the guest who is just trying to answer the question! It shreds my nerves and I end up having to take a break from the podcast for a few months. Please get yourself together.
Wow. I am floored by the amount of opinions, generalizations, and assumptions made in this podcast by 2 women about women using isolated incidents and not a lot of research info to back it up. There is no deeper understanding of the layers of issues and reasons women or men may act or respond certain ways in the topics they discuss. I think there is plenty of evidence to point to the reality that sometimes too many women in a certain job or scenario may create an unbalanced environment based... more

A thoughtful, eclectic interview show that covers culture, politics, science, and personal experiences through candid conversations with writers, journalists, scholars, and public figures. Episodes tend to scrutinize mainstream narratives, explore social trends, and push for nuance on hot-button topics such as feminism, urban policy, immigration, and technology's impact on everyday life. The host steers with curiosity and a willingness to challenge conventional wisdom, which often results in probing, idea-driven dialogues that appeal to listeners who enjoy smart, non-dogmatic discussions and are curious about the fringes of cultural debate.
