Just finished “when essays attack”, hence the rate and review! Marvellous podcast!

From a rural village in Canada, strangely I've found my people. For example, back in the day, I thought a mating ritual was talking about French movies and being stimulating conversationally. And I still think that's hot, lol. I'm missing these convos irl.

Love listening to these two. Feels like I’m at a dinner party eavesdropping on a more interesting conversation going on between two people across the table from me. This podcast energizes me.

I’ve been following Sarah since she was on Sam Harris - she’s an incredibly clear thinker and expresses herself so well - and now I’m a Megan Daum fan as well. She’s written essays so insightful and clever and hilarious that I’m reading them out loud to family members so they can share in my laughter. These two together are very funny and so wise. I can’t subscribe to every podcast but I’m glad I’m subscribed to this one. Love you ladies!

What a fun podcast! Very nuanced and fair but fun. I love the ladies’ insights. I don’t always agree with Megan’s perspectives against MeToo since I’ve worked with sleazeball perverts for over ten years, but the last episode about Israel was SO refreshing and my thoughts exactly reflected. I’m a radfem and abolitionist (of the sex industry) who also has some tradwife fantasies, and doesn’t subscribe to gender identity ideology and found this so great. Keep doing your thang!

This podcast has many interesting takes on current social and political trends. The interplay between Sarah and Meghan is very good, and I appreciate their different perspectives.

I know I can ignore YouTube, and I know they say that the YouTube portion is annoying them and they don’t want to do it anyway, but somehow I find the YouTube component taking away from the podcast in general. Trying to just stick to the audio formatting. Tho as a paying subscriber, I wish there was some continuity between what’s being offered to those who are paying versus those who are not. I wish the premium content would just appear in the podcast feed. Anyways, a lot of this is logistical, I still very much appreciate this podcast and it is one of my favourites.

Not sure what happened? I enjoyed this first year, but I’m finding the new content meandering and pointless.

Huge fan from Canada.

So many things are presented in all or nothing terms without any supporting data. Strong opinions or preferences alone don’t offer much nuance. The analysis of the topics of discussion often seems off-the-cuff and ungrounded, and consequently shallow and disappointing. A contrarian bend in and of itself is not interesting.
