As a podcast listener this is insulting. Andy Mills had to give back the Peabody he helped win for y'all last week and force a huge retraction and you think we won't notice him hosting the @nytimes flagship pod the next Monday?!? You think we won't notice???

As a woman in the industry it's more insulting that someone so big, @mikiebarb, is so willing promote the career & work of someone so sexist and harassing to women in the industry. He takes our jobs and forces us out and you laude him.

No matter how many articles written about you making women so uncomfortable they leave the biz, you're given the #1 daily podcast as a playpen the first workday after huge disgrace? Such a fuck you to people who do researched newsgathering and work hard to get stories out there.

This is how Matt Lauer, John Hockenberry, Charlie Rose, etc got made. Because people like you, @mikiebarb, promote predators with inappropriate interpersonal work skills bc you see those as less important. Stop being part of the problem, your reach is too big to play this dumb

When you ask industry leaders to do better or be accountable for promoting the careers and work of people who may not deserve it THIS IS WHAT THEY DO #BeBetter

@nytimes #thedaily this is how you handle listener feedback from people with knowledge in the industry?

Now I won't rest till I'm on #thedaily asking the void why pod bros get advanced and many free passes for wildly firable offenses and why women podcasters who've worked in the industry for a decade get blocked by pod bro hosts for noticing!!! #jgforthedaily

FYI #thedaily @nytimes I'm married to a pod bro, so I have actual insights & thoughts. He gets treated quite differently by the majority of the industry.
He's @mikiebarb counterpart at his company and weirdly he can handle hearing my thoughts without blocking me #jgforthedaily
