Customer Reviews
The Hours
Finally, someone who doesn’t like The Hours! The actress’ name is Nicole Kidman. I abhorred that film, and the novel. It was grand theft of Virginia Woolf.
Episode 26 was discriminatory
Celiac is a medical condition, it’s autoimmune. Not only was something ableist and anti-medical said, but then it was used as the promo for the episode (Episode 26).
Is this a eugenics podcast?
Because why would you call people with a medical condition “narcissists” - since coeliac was connected to the word narcissists. Being a kind person and just not picking on medical conditions (or saying nothing!) was the easy choice, but you blasted your ableism and hate toward people with medical conditions of damaged intestines.
My partisan take
If I were to make a list of my 100 favorite writers, Kathleen and Julie would be on it without a doubt. They have the chops to tackle the insanity currently plaguing the world, and are fair-minded and fearless thinkers. They’re as lucid and interesting as conversationalists as they are as writers. I am so happy to have this podcast show up.
