I listened to the Nathan Hill episode after searching Spotify for “The Nix.” I loved the insight into the novel, however, the host kept bringing politics into the conversation. I am unconcerned about how the host feels about conservatives, and the host presented himself as a disdainful, intolerant bully. Mr. Hill was tactful, the host was not. If the podcast included only the book discussion, my rating would be better.
Tone deaf & repugnant.

Hankins 2/14/19 interview should be pulled. Not only does he make mention, twice, with 2:25 left that he didn’t like the book, his smug interview style drips with white privilege. The questions he asks and his tone are condescending and not empathic. Nor does it seem like he really got the gist of what Stephanie experienced. It would serve him well to pull down this episode. I’ll certainly never listen to him again.

I love 💙 the podcast and book selections. In order to continue listening, please ask the Interviewer to speak directly into his phone or microphone. He fades in and out, making it very difficult to hear. In this podcast I can hear the author clearly but the interviewer is garbled. My husband and I recently took a trip and could not listen in the car because the sound is so inconsistent.
