Listen to The Record for local politics but sometimes irritated by the kinds of questions Radke and Reynolds ask. They seem kind of oblivious to their privilege in a lot of ways and awkward in conversation with their guests. They don’t connect with their BIPOC guests and ask questions that really show they don’t get it. As a Latina, I think if you really want the record to appeal to more women and BIPOC folks, you need to change the hosts. The questions are often way too cringeworthy. Jeanie Yandel has a really good rapport, more inflection and is more interesting to listen to than the usual hosts. She also is bringing more women and BIPOC voices to the shows. To be honest, I usually use this podcast to fall asleep but with her as a host I’m actually interested and curious and it’s much much less dry. I hope they keep her and give her a lot more opportunities to host.
