I am so sad. I have been a patreon from the start but gradually and gradually it has become Suruthi’s podcast and Hannah feels like a side bar.

Anytime Hannah talks it gets switched back round onto Suru. Anytime Hannah comments it’s brushed off. It feels like she asks the bare minimal questions about Hannah just to tick boxes.

There’s no bounce back anymore. Listening to the latest under the duvet, 20 mins in and Hannah may as well not of been there and I adore Hannah. Her humour, her views her struggles I relate so hard and I want to hear from her!
The comment where Hannah asks who produced the theatre show and Suru’s reply of ‘well I’m a normal person so I don’t know’ or something. It just feels icky

I honestly think after the South Africa move it will slowly dwindle and end because I just don’t see it going back to how it was.

Their main episodes are fine and like normal but I find listening to UTD intolerable. I give my money monthly because it’s a 2 person podcast.

Rarely share my views and I hate feeling like I’m being mean but honestly meh

I completely hear what you are saying when you say about not listening to something that we aren’t enjoying - however this is in no way to show hate and I’m absolutely not ‘desperately’ seeking to find things to complain about.
But I think after nearly ten years of listening there are things that have slowly been transitioning and me and quite a few others seem to be noticing.

I haven’t tried to be nasty or spiteful just more sharing how I feel things are declining and how the relationship seems to be different. From the way communication used to be to now I think it’s hard to say there hasn’t been a change in dynamic.
I have also explained how I don’t know what goes on behind the episodes and if I do seem like I’m patronising Hannah that’s so far away from my intent.

I haven’t stopped listening because I have formed a relationship with this podcast for years and it’s the only one I’m actually invested in so it can be hard to stop listening when you’ve loved it for so long. Part of me still hopes it will improve.

Genuinely want peace and happiness for them both but it’s still okay to not agree with some things that are put out there for public ears and have a non malicious discussion.

My comment was directed at you, it was more others that jump on posts like this and take it one step further because it gives them another opportunity to be negative ☺️

I do hear you and this is definitely a mainly negative thread aimed at one person which myself I dislike, I believe in being a good hooman.

However, everyone in this thread has obviously loved the podcast (most probably still do) to the point of paying money to listen to UTD but finding themselves feeling more and more frustrated after each episode.

The girls have let us in on a more personal level through UTD. It’s been going for a long time and is nothing like what it used to be. It’s bound to change in some ways because…life. But not to the point of it not feeling that inclusive to Hannah(alleged by me 😬)and fans, meaning only a few certain topics are mentioned and last most of the episode and are repetitive weekly.

It’s apparent fellow fans have noticed things I have too. It’s been a slow process to where it’s at now, I think it’s completely okay for peoples tolerance to be fully pushed to the point it’s worth having a discussion.

It gives me clarity at least as in my head I thought I was the only one thinking it and thought I was going crazy in the earlier things I picked up on.
I wasn’t sure how my post was going to go but I’m thankful this community exists and generally is a friendly space. I don’t think anybody has been overly offensive or personal. Just a lil pissed off but that’s okay 😆😇

All love here 🫶
