A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Terrific podcast that made me reflect, laugh, and entertained me. Some stand-out episodes included the first one, the one with Terry Gross. The one in which Jonathan goes to a fancy restaurant and the last one about his Abuelita going on a game show.

Thank goodness somebody is having the conversation about class in America. I want this show to keep going and I’m sad it’s over. There’s so much in here that inspires connection and relationship over separation based on cultural class ideology.

Salix bb · Jun 2024

Nice premise for a podcast, but could have been much better executed. I found it to be a very surface level of supposed “class” issues when most of the issues are clearly about cultural assimilation and race. This podcast is clearly catered to rich white liberals instead of the hosts POC counterparts that could actually relate to his experience. The standout episode was “Hemmed In,” which was the only episode I found to be intellectually honest and compelling and that was due to the guest speakers, not host.

you can hear how hard this show is to navigate in every word jonathan says. he does a spectacular job of telling difficult (and often deeply personal) stories, all of them surprisingly affecting. it's a privilege to take the journey with him.
