And That's Why We Drink

I’m an OG listener from the beginning but lately all I hear is Christine talking over Em or correcting them about something and it’s ruining it for me, I am on the verge of not listening anymore. (Still giving five stars though because they have always been my favorite podcast)

Well, I used to like this podcast, but apparently I’m nothing since I’m only an ally. See, as a straight woman, I was just informed by Em that LGBTQ+ is the winning team, and so I’m garbage. It’s not the first time this show has taken this kind of position, but it’s the first time it’s been made so abundantly clear. Now, I can hear Em saying “listen, it was only a joke…” Was it? Probably. But these kinds of sentiments are expressed a fair amount. And after a while, the lister goes “huh…you wouldn’t keep making that joke, if you didn’t really think less of me.” I want nothing more than for EVERYONE in this world to be able to be whoever they are. I think it’s so fantastic when someone knows who they are, and they can proudly be that person. I can’t keep listening to a podcast that has - for awhile now - made me feel less-than just because I’m straight. Just the way you want people to accept you for who you are, I wish you wouldn’t continuously beat up on straight allies. It hurts. I can’t take it anymore. I can’t listen to a podcast that makes me cry just because I’m different than you.

constant interruptions interfer with the flow of the story. STOP INTERRUPTING

I am a Gen Xer . So just putting that out there from the get go. Been listening to Em and Christine for years now. I don’t know if it is that the show has changed or I have changed and find myself pretty much over it now. I constantly find myself skipping ahead because 40 minutes of banter about their lives is sometimes too much! The constant complaints about their many health issues and all the meds they are on now it’s crazy! Oftentimes they seem neurotic. They’re too young for that in my opinion. Em is charming though but Ill prepared for most of their topics. Plus I can’t stand when Em is trying to tell their paranormal or spooky stories and Christine keeps making bad jokes about anything they say. Makes the paranormal sound like a joke to them. Meh. Christine’s topics are always well thought out and researched and that makes the show bearable. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I find myself either changing to another podcast or skipping ahead until is Christine’s turn. Good thing she doesn’t laugh anymore when telling a horrific story, as that was off putting.
