I’ve been a fan of this podcast since it began. Learning about their lives and the tidbits about the industry has been fascinating, and their perspectives about sex, love, relationships, has helped me learn about myself.
But ooof, the vibe has CHANGED since Bloody-Disgusting took over.
First of all, what is the point of having guests on if you’re not listening to them at all or you continuously cut them off? Both Danielle and Scout are guilty of this. Danielle is constantly cutting guests off to talk about herself, and Scout is always just waiting on her turn to speak without really absorbing what the guest has said.
Second, their dynamic is starting to wear thin. Danielle as the “cool girl” Gen X older sister and Scout as the neurotic millennial younger sister is really becoming grating, and also I don’t think is necessarily representative of who they are anymore, which seems to be the source of some tension.
Third, there used to be a much more balanced set of segments than there is now, I think they would benefit from going back to using an outline.
There is still some good here. The extremely open and honest conversations about their life experiences, the good, the bad, and truly unfiltered, are still there and great to listen to.
