Hi, as a linguist and in the spirit of this episode, I just want to mention that critiquing the way women deliver information, rather than just listening to them, is one of the common barriers that holds women back. Why is it a reasonable expectation for all guests to know Sarah and Laura’s style or to fit a complex research topic into sound bites? For more on this topic if you like podcasts, I’d recommend the Vocal Fries podcast.

I am a dedicated listener, but I sometimes get frustrated with what seems to me like more of a focus on hacking the status quo than changing the structural inequities in our world.

However, I found it to be rather painful to listen to. This is due to King’s long-windedness and monologue style rather than an having an engaging discussion with you and Sarah. I would have preferred King to focus on a few key findings and strategies to implement rather than try to fit the entire contents of her book within your podcast. I do think her research is valuable, I just wish it was presented more succinctly in her interview.

Thanks for the break!

@omdg- the DVDs! Humorously, we still have a DVD player and use it…

@Sarah K- yes, this turned out to be fortuitous!

We cut the cord to our cable subscription 15 years ago and started Netflix at the same time, way back when they sent you dvds in the mail. Best decision ever! It’s remarkable how much media has changed since then.

My family uses ours heavily. We don’t have cable TV anymore but subscribe to various streaming services. I am grateful for all of them these days.
