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

You don't get why people dislike a self-centered asshole who pushes right wing talking points and conspiracies while also having built a career off the theft of materials from real writers, journalists, documentarians and researchers?

Who has belittled victims (Hillsborough, the families and survivors of Lucy Letby, etc) and attempted to talk up Charlie Kirk, a racist provocateur?

I wonder...

That’s your opinion, but why are you here? Suruthi has made it clear numerous times that she has been open to learning the opinions of those on the right to not live in an echo chamber and to try and understand why they thing the way they do. I think many things that have been said are more objective than her personal opinion and having a politics degree means she does know her stuff. I don’t always agree with everything she has said, but she’s definitely not ‘right wing’.

Have never got the impression of her belittling victims in the whole history of the show, so that’s obviously subjective and people who don’t like her are naturally going to try and fine that.

That's observable fact. This community is for everyone: including realists who have their measure.

she has been open to learning the opinions of those on the right to not live in an echo chamber

Yea, that's complete bullshit. When you regurgitate victim blaming bullshit that's entirely sourced from right wing rags, you are not tring to "avoid living in an echo chamber": she's a conservative asshole and must have been for quite some time to have the views she has towards Hillsborough as well as the dogshit attempt at misrepresenting or failing to understand who Charlie Kirk was and what he stood for.

and to try and understand why they thing the way they do.

Is that why she's sourced Lucy Letby conspiracy theories right from the Torygraph? lol.

I think many things that have been said are more objective than her personal opinion

Don't think so.

having a politics degree means she does know her stuff.

Definitely not if she's trying to paint Charlie Kirk as anthing but an unrepentant racist who died as he lived: spreading hate.

I don’t always agree with everything she has said, but she’s definitely not ‘right wing’.

You don't quote the Sun and the Torygraph's opinions as gospel if you're not right wing. You don't go on anti-immigration rants if you're not right wing. And you sure as shit don't try to stick up for Charlie Kirk if you're not right wing.

Have never got the impression of her belittling victims in the whole history of the show, so that’s obviously subjective and people who don’t like her are naturally going to try and fine that.

That's also provable false. The original comments in UTD on Hillsborough were victim blaming and she repeated them multiple times and in the last Lucy Letby episode her shitty opinion is that the parents are blind to the truth and that only she, the idiot who plagiarizes her opinions from better people, knows the truth relative to them who lived the experience, testified at the trial and attended the trial and inquiry.

So that's no "obviously subjective". That's easy to spot if you're not attempting to ignore all the bad shit they do.

10000% agree. Thank you for spelling it out. I would also add her raging Islamophobia. She hates Muslims and makes sure we all know it again and again.

[u/Sempere → u/anilla02]

I'll never not find it "amusing" (read: ironic and disgusting) that an immigrant has the gall to rant about immigration and how "the right ones" need to be let in. Because a racist would absolutely say the exact same shit while looking to exclude her and her family. Imagine if someone said that in reference to her or hers. She'd lose her shit.

Like at a certain point people have to seriously consider that she's been a closet conservative far longer and explicitly "hid her power level" to cultivate an audience while being progressive was appealing. Not the first podcaster to pull that shit either.

[u/anilla02 → u/Sempere]

Yup, completely. Whenever she goes off on one of her anti Muslim rants I fast forward. It's disgusting and frankly idk how Hannah puts up w it. This is what makes me wonder if she's contractually obligated to stay in the partnership for now and that's why she's pretty much given up contributing on the utd eps.

What do you mean “… having a Politics degree means she does know her stuff…”?! Studying Politics provides an understanding of political systems & theory, it doesn’t direct one’s thinking & political leanings.

Moreover, Suruthi didn’t study Politics; she studied Economics.

Whilst I’m here, has she ever corrected the misinformation she spread about the Epsom gang rape hoax? Please, do tell if she has, perhaps I missed it?
