The Alarmist

The cast and guests are great! BUT please learn the proper pronunciation of names! It makes listening easier. The Troy episode I had to cut short because of it.

Is there anyone in this industry that has an ounce self awareness? The real world doesn't hate men, isn't obsessed with race, and definitely doesn't care about your political opinions or want them injected into every episode. It's so overdone tired and the worst way to make a good podcast. Insulting your would be listeners is mean spirited and arrogant. Come on! Read the room not funny comedians.

I heard about this podcast from The Office Ladies and I am right there with Jenna Fischer, I’m obsessed with this podcast! Rebecca does an outstanding job explaining historical events in an interesting way. I can’t stop telling people about this show. My husband loves listening with me and we’ve had amazing conversations as a result of the topics. I’m still near the beginning, but I explored all the 500+ episodes and every topic I’m interested in learning about has been covered. I can’t wait to get to those! Thank you for all your hard work on this podcast. It’s absolutely binge worthy.

Great idea for a podcast, but it soon becomes clear that they will find a way to blame conservatives, capitalism, or the catch-all phrase now used to represent all evil doing “the patriarchy” are the cause of EVERYTHING bad that has happened in history. Listening to the episode that discussed the “Clinton-Lewinsky” scandal, I at first got very excited to hear one of the hosts ACTUALLY CALL OUT the second wave feminists of that era for the disgusting way they treated not just Monica, but Linda Tripp and Paula Jones during the scandal, completing abandoning and condemning all three of them (not to mention joining in on decimating all three of these women on their physical appearance). I had a moment of hope, thinking “Oh wow! For once, these hosts are going to actually get it right AND assign responsibility to something other than what their liberal talking points memo tells them is acceptable!” Not 30 seconds later, the same host says “Actually, I’m going to walk back that comment…because what really was at fault there was (wait for it…you know it’s coming…starts with a “P”)….THE PATRIARCHY!” 🙄 It felt like being trapped in Fahrenheit 451 where an alarm had gone off somewhere that someone had thought independently for themselves for a minute and then quickly had to correct it. Sad. Predictable. And not worth the time.
