Super disappointed
Jan 27
I have followed Lorenz online for years and enjoyed episodes of A Bit Fruity with her as a guest. I was super disappointed to hear her talking over and interrupting Fortessa Latifi on the family bloggers episode. I appreciate when an interviewer can ask probing questions of their guest. I did not appreciate Latifi not being allowed to respond as Lorenz took it as an opportunity to grandstand especially without specifics. I left the conversation without a clear understanding of why the laws to protect children’s right to forget are bad.
Y’all hate content about anyone who isn’t a cis man

Every time I see a slew of one star reviews by gross dudes I’m IN. I found Taylor via a bit fruity and she is incredibly insightful and an incredibly capable journalist. Y’all can’t listen to a woman with a brain, it has nothing to do with vocal fry. Gtfooooo our girl is amazing!
Love this podcast!

I really appreciate Taylor’s work. It’s nice to have content from actual journalists. Though she’s able to present facts and the surrounding contexts to demonstrate a through line, it never inhibits her ability to make the discussion feel casual and approachable. I think if you’re weary of legacy media institutions, but are still wanting to digest genuine news from a source that practices the standards of journalism, this is a great resource to have.

Wild that all of the negative reviews happen immediately after the Piers Morgan interview. Anyway! Actual critical thinkers will really enjoy this podcast.
