I only listen to “The Indicator” and “Planet Money” podcasts from NPR now. Even those I only listen to occasionally. The “two podcast hosts having a fake scripted conversation with fake laughter” format is irritating.

As a mostly liberal but not leftist, I find that other podcasts I tried to listen to can be a bit much when it comes to race (I’m Black FWIW). I haven’t come across all of the trans topics that the X thread is complaining about it.

And maybe I’m just over discussions about race issues because I know what a large part of America is about and I’m just over it.
