Good listen

Good show that’s entered my regular rotation. Nayeema’s rich person stories are ridiculous. Every episode she’ll casually drop an anecdote that makes her sound like Jack Donaghy or Tahani from The Good Place.
I tried, I can’t.

Was encouraged by Smiths appearance on the 5th Column podcast but after trying out this podcast and listening to the Nov 8 episode, yeah no. Especially grating was the ‘state of the entertainment industry’ segment where they talked to someone who (speaking as a film industry veteran) clearly didn’t know what she was talking about. The view that ‘resistance media’ and DEI was somehow a good thing in film and TV was really off base IMO and she received little pushback. The fried vocal qualities of the hosts did not not help matters.
Not bad

Why don’t tech people do more interviews with mainstream media? Ben I know you know that much of the media has been fully discredited- with their TDS and their far left activism and their ridiculous obsession with racism and white supremacy. Wash Post, NBC, CNN, LAT, etc have morphed into Vice (2022) meets Al Jazeera meets Daily Beast. Jason is right- they’re liars and activists and not credible.
Fresh and interesting

Love the way the topics are curated and the depth Ben brings with his experience covering campaign politics. It’s a great pairing. Nayeema provides the perfect balance, often highlighting cultural insights that don’t always make it into my newsfeed. Definitely worth checking out.
