not me scarfing down cottage cheese and plain room temperature toast at midnight while frantically texting my friend pages and pages of Thoughts on what’s been going on with reply all/gimlet/their BA miniseries

#tl;dr it's really shitty and depressingly ironic that the person compiling all the BA narratives is the same person implicated in #being just as shitty in her own company. and there's no way RA isn't going to release the remaining episodes #seeing as how they are probably the most ambitious and popular ones since the long distance series several years ago #and it would be a shame to not hear the rest of the ex-BA employees interviewed and hear their voices and stories #it will be very interesting to see what happens going forward but my personal prediction is that they're going to be kind of shitty #and prop up emmanuel as like their token black voice who's also relatively new to the team and a little younger than their old guard #maybe it's selfish for me to still want to hear the resolution to the BA miniseries even knowing what's been going on at gimlet #and how shitty they are. but i do hope we get (a) acknowledgment of what happened on the podcast itself and not just on twitter or some shit #and (b) we get to hear the voices of the people who have already put in the time to tell their stories and relive their experience at BA #(lmao god if this is the tl;dr you don't want to see my original texts) #it's really interesting though having followed gimlet for so many years they've had a diversity problem from the start #not to mention i always had a bad feeling about the spotify acquisition #ANYWAY #cool story charlotte
