I'm so sick of these girl talk podcasts that swear they will bring the shock factor and talk about the 'taboo' topics like *whispers* sex. Theres a new one coming out every week. Find a new niche.

If there’s a new one coming out every week please share what they are called so I can listen 
properly missing it galz. RR definitely sold it like that (need we forget the ballgag) and now she’s talking about the roots of rock and roll. That she clearly hadn’t a clue about until she “deep dove” into Wikipedia and YouTube archives lol. L does go there with the shock factor so I trust it’ll be juicy (at least I’m hoping!)

All you actually comment in here is how tit RR is & how amazing L is, it’s getting old, dunno which member of the L gang you are (Shauna or L herselfIf there’s a new one coming out every week please share what they are called so I can listen
) but you’ve an opinion on every vlog J makes which makes me think you watch every one of her vlogs, weekly, just for something to comment negatively about her on here? I highly doubt J has her friends or fella running here posting exaggerated gossip, ( Need we forget your mad story about sitting in a restaurant beside L & her talking about Evan cheating at gaff parties 
..) The absolute pettiness of it all

I never subscribed to xgalz or red room, just listened to Jennys free episode on scientology, actually enjoyed it - but i'm fascinated by cults, so i feel like a lot of her episodes wouldnt interest me cos theyre on topics i have no interest in

I meannnnn she does have a point? The roots of rock and roll isn’t really anything that I would consider a RR topic. Also, it’s ok to miss it galz? Hardly pettyAll you actually comment in here is how tit RR is & how amazing L is, it’s getting old, dunno which member of the L gang you are (Shauna or L herself
I’d imagine it’s on purpose to create hype/speculation, which in fairness it has got people here talking about if there’s a new pod

I initially joined TL because I’d overheard L in a restaurant. Lots of people have seen/overheard stuff from or about L on here. I (like a lot of people I’m sure) skim through J’s vlogs as to semi hate watch (I don’t dislike her she just irritates me) if L was putting out content I would do the same. J’s content just makes me miss it galz. I read on here a lot before posting and was getting the ick at how people were licking J’s orse as a way to get to L (imo). J is definitely a professional, pretty woman but lacks any of the personality or spice it galz has. Because L isn’t professional and has been flaky and all over the place. J gets a lot of praise but J’s content shows me that it galz wouldn’t have penetrated the masses like it did without L. She was the one who pushed the boundaries and I initially came on here to offer that balance as it was getting tired seeing J held up to such a ridiculous standard when in reality she is bleh.

Maybe in J’s world looking at the roots of rock is ‘peeling back the curtain on the weird & wonderful’.
Idk, I thought for a topic so interesting she made it really boring. She doesn’t really bring anything new to the table/offer a new perspective.
I feel like if someone said they had overheard J saying that about L it wouldn’t be met with as much resistance on here. No one who writes on here about L is accused of being J or one of her friends either… let people gossip on a gossip forumAll you actually comment in here is how tit RR is & how amazing L is, it’s getting old, dunno which member of the L gang you are (Shauna or L herself

I thoroughly enjoyed RR's Scientology episode. I thought this was finally Jenny being able to deliver something that is entertaining, critical and a different perspective. I even found her voice very relaxing to listen to. I felt her early podcasts were a bit surface level, but now they're finding their flow. The thing I think would work well for Jenny is actually exploring the video essay medium on youtube like Contrapoints, Mina Le, Kardashian Kolloqium, etc. I think she'd be able to combine her research with vlogging and talking to the camera. It would really suit a lot of the materials she's working with. I do however think in podcast format, she should totally get a 2nd host who is charismatic, funny and possibly a girl. I've nothing against Adam at all, but I don't think he's really on Jenny's level. She needs someone who speaks media theory, critical theory, media history as a first language, and that she'd have good chemistry with.
I also want to pick up on a point that was raised several times in this thread about Jenny being alt right. She's not, and it's a bit misleading to say she is. Judging by the type of stuff she is interested in, I would say we're getting contrarian left with the odd random conservative value thrown in, mixed up with the mad spirituality, manifestation, starsign stuff. Making a podcast on a subject that is typical of the alt right like incels is not her endorsement of said subject. I assume she has to be quite clever at trying not to be too vocal about her personal convictions so that she can get in the room with a very wide variety of people. You also don't want to be an overly emotional person on a podcast if you want to interview people who have experienced significant trauma, like I'm sure your man leaving Scientology had. It might drive people crazy that she has to act in this way, but I assume it's about the type of guests she wants to invite in. People are nuanced and it's actually a good thing to encounter ideas and opinions outside of your own. Who of us has had to argue with a family member about Joe Rogan at Christmas? Maybe it's good to go into that conversation with an idea of what Rogan's key beliefs are and try and tease out what's at stake for the person who is devoted to him, instead of shutting them down immediately.
Finally just on It Galz - For those lamenting It Galz, it is sad and I really enjoyed it too. But I also think Jenny's direction makes a lot of sense. I absolutely love Linsday and think she's possibly on par with Joanne MacNally on podcast for hilarity, OBVIOUSLY though is not a standup and should absolutely never do standup ever again. I would actually sign a petition to have her not do standup again. But I still love her. I think L doing a red table style show with sisters or mates would be iconic. Imagine them all sat around the table discussing stuff. Would make a great vlog or podcast. Ugh, I would LOVE it.

People here are a spec in the ocean, such a niche and ever dwindling audience. I would understand the tactic if they were famous but they’re really not.

So I actually started listening to the docket episode about Joe Rogan (thought I had cancelled RR but hadn’t, raging) and I couldn’t get through it. Jenny talks about how she listens to Tucker Carlson sometimes and then her and Adam start talking about how Joe Rogan isn’t a scientist, why shouldn’t he have these guys on etc. The issue is that he has a massive podcast and is sharing blatant COVID vaccine misinformation on there, which directly leads to people dying, especially in the states. What’s not to get!? I can’t stand the two of them they act like they’re smart but honestly they came across as thick as two short planks. And I was a Jenny fan for a minute. Sorry for the rant but I’m so done with her.
It’s either alt right shite or incredibly boring stuff about the history of rock n roll. Far more interesting music scholars out there who I’d rather listen to and who actually know what they’re talking about.

what covid misinformation did he spread?
He said hospitals are financially incentivised to record covid as a cause of death

He had a doctor on his podcast who spouted a load of misinformation and half truths. It was not researched properly and his claims were baseless, or left vital information out.
He said that the covid vaccine can alter genes. This is not true.
He said that if you get vaccinated after you had Covid you are at a greater risk of side effects. Again, not true.
He said that for young people the health risks from the vaccine are greater than from Covid. Also not true.
In fairness people who consistently drag J couldn’t really accuse anyone supportive of being J’s mate cos she has none, remember? Consistent at least

I don't sub to RR so I'm not sure the context of Tucker Carlson reference, but she was quoting Jacobin in the free podcast. A person on the alt right would literally burst into flames if they ever read Jacobin.
Without having listened to that pod, perhaps the problem is not that she's alt right (which I disagree with) but that her entire angle on topics like that is unclear. The lack of position makes her seem like her politics lie firmly in the centre, which is understandably frustrating. I feel like I consume a lot of the same media as her and people do actually make their positions clear. Say in Red Scare, those hosts are on the left even if they talk some amount of shite, they have stated that they are on the left and so we read all conversations they have in that context. Jenny has yet to provide us with her angle, so by presenting media from the alt right and the left, without her own position, it makes her arguments seem bizarrely in the centre. I think one can have too much media training when it comes to stuff like this, and actually your audience trust you better when they know what your politics are.cvntyhunty
