It's Been a Minute

Thank you for the sensible discussion on the UHC shooting and the reaction to it. As mentioned, so many people in the media and on the punditry liberal-left have been completely tone deaf in handling this one. No one is condoning cold blooded murder and yes, we have to take seriously the idea that this will escalate the normalization of violence in solving interpersonal issues. But not viewing the harms done by insurance companies as violence or framing an internet joke as an equal harm is wild and only obfuscates people’s pain. Anyway, thanks. I really appreciate it. I’ve dropped several shows over this issue so I’m glad to have found y’all. c:

I cannot believe the word mulatto was used in your segment without defining how historically this was a very derogatory term used during slavery and many people still find it to be a derogatory term. Wow. Great reporting. I listened to your show weekly and as a black woman I can’t believe you did not include historical reference to this. Very disappointing.

While I loved the show with Sam Sanders, I have come to love this iteration with Brittany Luse. She’s an exceptionally thoughtful and skilled interviewer. And her insights have really made me rethink assumptions I have had. Brava!

About time to reclaim the corporate co-opted definition of “culture” and “celebrity”, and shed the superficial glitz! This new segment is both entertaining and educating. Looking forward for more.
