Inking Out Loud

I’ve listened to a lot of this on my way to work

I hate to leave a low review on a podcast that appears to be trying hard and grounded in loving literature but Drew was so insufferable to Lauren in The Tainted Cup episodes that I had to come by and say it prevented me from subscribing or listening to any other episodes. It was painful to hear him contradict her or tell her she had misunderstood the text or that her opinion on a subjective aspect of the book was invalid for one reason or another. The pinnacle of this is where she clearly asserts that a character is a 60 year old woman and he corrects her saying that the character is 60 and she says “I said she was sixty” and he says “no you said she was six” without any good humor whatsoever. Even IF she had said six what does this exchange add to the conversation other than for Drew to possibly make himself feel superior? Pedantry is insufferable. Obviously y’all have a working relationship that works for y’all but it comes off very poorly to my ear. Best of luck!
