  • I want to like this...

    ... but I just can't. The material is interesting but the presenter is just insufferable. For a start, her voice just grates, then we've got the weird mix of somehow both sniggering and braying at her own jokes.

    I don't doubt that Sarah's first reaction to this would be to decide I am (like most males) a total misogynist, and therein lies the second problem: we all knew someone like Sarah at high school. She's the slightly above average intelligence girl who is absolutely convinced by her own c... more

  • Misinformation about mental health

    I’ve only listened to some of the older episodes and immediately noticed a lack of nuance, research and a lot of misinformation, especially about mental health issues—Multiple Personality Disorder (DID) and Psychopathy (Anti-social Personality Disorder), for example. I liked the chemistry between the cohost but read that Michael left the show later on. I find Sarah smug and her general take on the past relies too much on her present perspective. Not impressed.

  • Lorena Bobbit

    I loved their lighthearted, funny chemistry. Very enjoyable bit of story telling; crime and reflection on the discourse in the 90s and then fast forward to differences but pervasive challenges in attitudes today.

  • Awful

    Was excited to listen all about pee wee and instead inject your personal opinions of his father and Israel, so hypocritical talking about your journalistic approach and then open his story like that, maybe do some more digging
