It’s an eclectic assortment of subjects that come to us thanks to you. We’re taking on five listener questions that run the gamut-from kids menus to succulents to the chicken that crossed the road. In this episode, we’re going to dig into a handful of the most fascinating ones that we’ve yet to tackle on the show. Ultimately this just makes the whole process lightweight - what a waste.We’re really lucky to get a lot of listener emails, suggesting topics for the show. Duke is totally accessible online, so why put your fingers in your ears and try and block out what he has to say - if it’s an issue, then don’t give him the spotlight and make the podcast in the first place. There are many arguments against this approach, but especially given that the audience of this podcast is by its nature interested in the nuance of political testimony, and is capable of discerning their own views on a controversial subject, no matter how ‘offensive’. If you deem the subject sufficiently interesting to make the series about it, I simply can’t fathom how you would then declare your refusal to interview him. The biggest, gaping fail, is the college student-esque refusal midway through the series not to interview the man. This makes for a flat, unexciting listener journey. It starts with how undeniably repugnant Duke is, and ends with it, with the story or character assessment not having moved on at all. Neither does the story contain any genuinely interesting twists and turns, or mysteries. ![]() Visit megaphone.fm/adchoicesĭavid duke is not an interesting or consequential enough subject for a slow, pondering series of investigative journalism.
