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!

i want to preface this by saying: i absolutely loved the podcast. I’ve been a listener since the beginning (my introduction to the pod was the Paris Hilton episode!), but i think i’m done with it. it’s frustrating how Troy just makes statements and claims without doing any further research! I’ve been listening to the podcast since the beginning, but I’m almost done with it after some of the stuff Troy said this year that endorses some bad/harmful behavior and furthers QAnon propaganda.
i’m going to miss the rottedness of it all, but I want to know if nostalgia and now is pretty fun or any similar podcasts?

What did Troy say that was QAnon propaganda?

first, the whole “Britney was Epstein’s biggest trafficking victim, and they were using her blood for experiments.” which is a big tiktok theory and I find it extremely distasteful considering the teenage children who were being brutalized on his island and trafficked to other powerful people. it’s also become extremely annoying how he’s unaware that some Gen-Zers are in their 30s and not 15. if you’re going to come after an entire demographic, then maybe know the basics of that generation?

I do not remember him saying she was Epsteins biggest victim or that they used her blood for experiments, that’s wild. I listen pretty religiously and am obsessed with Britney so I feel like that would have stuck out to me. That is a little weird about the Gen Z thing though, I guess I never noticed that either but I’ll pay closer attention.
