Sounds Tired

Aug 9

While I’m still listening and enjoy the still-existing pundits, this week’s Roundtable discussion, in particular, seems so clinical, has an personality of “I’m just doing my job,” tired, and not remotely interested. Who’s picking the topics? Can we have some more guests? I assume it’s the higher-ups/production level, not on-air talent, driving this new format and—as someone who’s been listening for years—please don’t try to force a square block into a circle hole.
Katey!!! 😫

Sadly I’m unsubscribing after hearing the news of Katey being “reassigned”. I love Richard and the rest of the hosts but she’s the only reason I ever listened to this podcast to begin with. I’m gonna follow my girl wherever she goes. Good luck with the show and hopefully the people at Vanity Fair stop trying to “fix” things that weren’t broken.
