Champagne Sharks

Love this pod - been listening for years. They put out a ton of content so I can pick and choose the topics that interest me. I appreciate that all of the hosts are not just professional podcasters and thus actually have deep insight into what they discuss . They’re not media people either which is why their conversations often feel authentic in a way I don’t hear often. Ok my only critique comes from a place of love and wanting to hear all of the hosts.. please y’all work on not interrupting each other mid-thought, I think maybe so many insights have been lost to time this way. Anyway, keep up the good work - been a patreon sub on and off for a few years (nothing personal lol just can’t support all my faves all the time!). Much love from a white girl in the Deep South.

I’ve been listening for years and was even in the Discord for a while. Certain episodes are stellar, 10/10. The analysis offered is often far above average. However, after a while, you can predict what they’re going to say. I saw this in the Discord—it seems like the CS community is obsessed with looking for crazy takes from black women and LGBTs which they can trash. I know that a lot of nonsense gets said. I don’t agree with the crazy “SJWs,” and yes, to some extent, their ideas have been mainstreamed. But the fixation on these people has gotten old. I’m not going to claim that CS is biased, but I will say that hearing the exact same takes over and over again is boring. Get some new material.

Progressive, but not woke. Big fan of the sharks

I just started subscribing, but I’ve heard some incredibly thoughtful and well-researched discussions so far. Trevor is especially good. He seems to think very carefully about his takes on pop-cultural issues and has a lot of research available and ready to quote to support his thoughts. Vida is also really good. She’s conscientious about asking guests to slow down, reiterate their main points, and clarify any context listeners may be missing.
