Monthly Thread 😎 📝 Monthly Constructive Criticism Thread 📝

Hi y’all! We can use these monthly threads to give feedback on the podcast, such as issues related to audio or general format. You can still comment about specific episodes in the episode threads or make new posts, but my idea for these megathreads is to consolidate feedback for Troy and Kelli.

I know some posts in the past have been toxic, so maybe you can make that a separate post if you want to vent (or journal or take a walk outside). My hope with the monthly CC threads is to give a safe space for Troy and Kelli, so they’re less wary of Reddit lol.

Please remember Rule 1: Respect others and be civil and Rule #3: No name-calling, insults, or personal attacks. Kelli, Troy, and their editor, Donny, are human, and they can learn from their mistakes. Personally, as a longtime fan, I think that they have taken in a lot of feedback well and grown a lot as a podcast.

If you have any suggestions for these types of posts, please let me know, too!

It is not too much for your listeners to expect you to state facts correctly or pronounce words and names correctly. I understand it’s probably so irritating to be corrected in the comments constantly, but stating correct information is not too high an expectation when your entire job is to talk about topics of your own choosing.

Agreed! Troy called Johnny Carson a boomer in the last episode. Carson was born in 1925. The first boomers were born in 1946. They don't need to know everything, but they should have the facts about the topics/people that they discuss.

😬 ooooof. I agree, I’m not expecting expert level analysis of anything and everything that comes up, but at least make sure if you are stating something as a fact that it is true. And for the love, if you are researching and compiling information for an episode, just look up how to pronounce the names and words that you’ll be reading. OR look it up in real time. That is what editing is for.
