Bad On Paper

Giving 5 stars cuz I’m a nice person but the virtue signaling about politics is rly out of control. Also the lifestyle content is great Too much book content

The consistent degradation of literature on this show by Becca is bizarre and disappointing- do we need more anti-intellectualism in this cultural moment? Dostoyevsky can be read on a beach, everyone should read Shakespeare for many, many reasons, not least because he provides an unbelievable portal into what it means to be human, and there is more value to a college class than navigating polite society. Olivia brought up Demon Copperhead, which Kingsolver based on Dickens— do we know this? I’ve never been so turned off by an episode.

Becca steamrolls whatever Olivia says to either condescending ridicule or interrupts to get her point across which (of course) is contrary to Olivia’s. Would love for the partnership to feel equal and have Olivia’s confidence and opinions take the stage for once. If Becca would let her.

I’ve been a listener for two years and I listen to this podcast when i’m driving! I drive 2h almost everyday and this podcast is my best friend. Thank you Becca & Olivia for entertaining me! Love the pod :)
