Another NPR propaganda
Oct 1
Spoiler alert on the Misinformation episode: everything the Republicans says is misinformation. The Democrats are the only party who tells the truth. Is NPR still getting funding from the government? If so, defund this political party posing as a podcast platform.
Lack of intellectual diversity
Sep 30
I subscribed to this podcast assuming it would offer something similar to the NYT’s Wirecutter podcast, sharing neutral, objective advice about life’s tangible challenges. Yet most episodes seem to convey a politicized message, and the podcasts don’t offer a intellectual diversity. The tantrum episode was particularly frustrating — the expert offered a variety of parenting techniques that Gentle Parenting influencers and writers tend to advocate. This would have been absolutely fine had there been one or two other perspectives represented in the podcast. It is becoming more and more clear to me that NPR is allergic to debate and offers nothing but an ideological echo chamber; I should not be surprised that this podcast is no exception to this reality.
What even is this?

I’m not sure what this is or who it’s for. The concept is great. The execution is terrible. It’s the most obvious, pandering “advice” you’ve ever heard. You could listen to a dozen shows and not learn one new thing.
