Good on Paper

I really enjoy the topics and the concept behind the podcast, but I had to stop listening. The host is obviously intelligent and passionate, and I think she could be a great pod host someday, but she needs to slow way down. Her rapid-fire speech is hard to follow and difficult to keep up with (it actually gives me anxiety) and it feels like she’s often talking over her guests rather than really listening and responding thoughtfully. It’s distracting and makes it hard to focus on the important information that’s invariably shared in the episodes.

This pod is forgive the pun “ Good On Paper” - It is an interesting concept with thought and discussion provoking subjects, which are based on data, which I love! However; I must offer a bit of constructive criticism - the host seems to be a bit less experienced at interviewing than hosts of other shows in The Atlantic portfolio. You have a great idea here, but you need to work on your interviewing and broadcast skills - you are clearly bright and a quick thinker, but its challenging to listen sometimes because you are speaking to quickly or stringing multiple thoughts together using “like”. Wishing you the best of luck in your career!

I love that the interview is a conversation! She is so smart and asks such thoughtful questions. Love the episode on slavery

I adore this show and the broad range of topics. I especially love how informed and inquisitive the host is!! Jerusalem’s voice is easy to listen to and her insight, fab!
