We Love to Hate Everything

I am living for Jodie’s hatred of Dayton and Meri, she’s so funny and has the best takes. Despite Amanda’s constant singing and interrupting, this podcast makes me laugh and I LOVE the watch along format!

You guys have fun conversation sometimes. But the Lindsay Clancy stuff was *woof*. I was so disappointed listening to your take. Your theory: Dad looks checked out on a family day trip so that means he secretly tried to kill his own family and then frame a wife who already said she did it (as did her lawyer)?! Please stop perpetuating misinformation and conspiracy theories. This is someone’s actual horrific trauma and not gossip fodder. I’m kind of tired of “every man is a monster because my ex was.” But yeah, Janelle is a queen and I’m glad we can be on the same page about that. ☺️

I’ve been a listener for at least eight years at this point, and I am done. The recent coverage of an issue in the news media was inaccurate, full of conspiracy theories, and encouraged supporters to also post inaccurate and sometimes insulting takes. I used to love this podcast but it’s turned into too much Sister Wives to the point I’ve been considered unsubscribing for some time, but with the recent discussions of current events I decided to finally delete all the episodes off my phone.

I love me some reality tv hate watching and I love a podcast that recaps it through the lens of culture and politics (à la ‘Love to See It’) but this ain’t it. The idea of making a woman suffering from postpartum psychosis on trial for murdering her children a running segment next a sister wives update… woof. And not even a trigger warning?! People use the words trauma and trigger far too liberally now but loss of a child (whether to violence or illness), having postpartum or being the subject to serious medical malpractice or neglect are all points of trauma and talking about it like it’s a piece of pop culture gossip is objectively gross especially without a trigger warning up top or in the show notes. Talk about it -sure- but do so with care and try to contextualize it rather than just acting like it’s another reality show.
