My Year in Mensa

This is gold. Jamie Loftus uses no snarkiness, no character assassination - just a clever and well crafted production that shows that while there are lots of good people on Mensa, it origins need examining. And that smart people can be…. unpleasant at times. The prevalence of right wing craziness, and more to the point, the lack of responsibility Mensa takes for the hatefulness spouted by members makes me never want to join. (I do, however, want to subscribe to her next podcast!)

The host has found an interesting topic to explore, however she is at times annoyingly self referential, she speaks very quickly without pause, and she uses air horns to punctuate her episodes which is extremely annoying. I think with a little refinement she will become a great podcaster.

I enjoyed this. I laughed a lot. I related to the blah of millennial women and being in uncomfortable situations, and then was very happy I’ve never been in a series of situations THAT uncomfortable. Thank you for the interesting story!

The most underwhelming podcast I’ve ever heard. She joined MENSA for a laugh, outed members who insulted her in their weird Facebook group, got blocked, went to a dull conference and erm…that’s it, that’s the story. Don’t waste your time.
