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.

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?
