Love the show, but why admonish a fellow podcaster. It also sounds as if you’ve not listened to crooked programs. He can be a bit snooty, but is also an accomplished activist. We need as many of those as we can get.

The show is great. Get over yourselves, whiners.

I thought I was ready to keep going down the Zizian hole. Then Rob mentioned Otherkin. Jumpin' Jehoshaphat.

Long time introverted fan. Thank you, from the history nerds with roots in both sides of colonialism and slavery. I know no one who gets a mic on the show has roots in Spanish Colonialism (Intended as observation, not a critique. I’m confident your hearts are with the work). The brief callout in the Diego Garcia episode about the bombing of Vieques and Culebra made some of your Boriqua fans thirsty for recognition. I do NOT want to reduce any of the attention on the suffering of other colonized folk. Black and norte indigenous folk have fair claim to a LOT of attention to their oppressions. There is colorism and queerphobia across the Boricua diaspora. I and my nesting partner are very white-presenting and do not experience the treatment others get. I was born into and have the privilege of citizenship on mainland Norte. The mother of my nesting partner (born in Arecibo) does NOT have the same rights my mother (born in Brooklyn) has. Puerto Rico is the oldest colony, the place subjected to the most consecutive years of colonial oppression anywhere in the world. Please hear us and give us a little airtime. Taino and Kalinago language were not a choice I ever had. Even our colonial dialect of Spanish was beaten out of my grandparents, so my mother didn’t even teach me that. All the many mestizo folk like me have is the structures of our colonizer, and the privileges of skin color and and hair that separate me from my cousins. I know the infrastructure is fuzzy, but please…see us, por favor. If you just can’t…I get it. Hard choices. I’ll keep at what I’m doing, and I’ll keep listening. But at some point…let your Boricua fans know you see them. ¡No más colonias!

I’m not going to sit here and listen to a woman who undermines men for no reason, as if we owe her something or are guilty just for being men. This kind of in-your-face feminism made the show unbearable for me. I think her name is Bridgette or something.....I’m not sure. Also, the way they talk on the show is exhausting. It feels like they’re in a constant competition to see who can speak the fastest and loudest at the same time.

What in the Orwell is this nonsense?

They look at historical figures without context, spending a great deal of time lamenting why people who lived in a different era had different values than we do. This doesn’t lead to an intelligent or interesting conversation. The podcast makes sweeping generalizations about people based on nationality, and is homophobic, often confusing being gay with pedophilia. Not for me.

Title says it all, I don’t have much interest in it could happen here, particularly not all grouped up together into a giant block. Main episodes are great though. Keep it up.
