Dr David Bell on the Savage Minds Podcast

[DerekFaker]

Interesting discussion

I listened to this episode. David Bell is always interesting to listen to. He comes across as a very thoughtful, considered and reflective person. Julian Vigo, on the other hand, drove me nuts. She kept going off on one, following a line of thought like a hound chasing a rabbit through undergrowth. Every now and then you’d glimpse a good question, but the hound would plough on and the moment passed. It was such a frustrating “interview”. I wish she’d talked less and let David Bell say more. At one he started his reply (eventually!) with a “you said a lot there…” He’s a master in diplomacy. Julian, if you’re reading: I like your podcast, but for the love of God please let your guests speak. 🙏

I wish she’d talked less and let David Bell say more.

In case you haven't heard it, there was the earlier interview, where he spoke uninterrupted for the first 25 minutes, which I found impressive.

I started listening to that again having it found it via search, not realising it was the old one...

The current episode is this:

Interested to hear him bring up surrogacy as another parallel example of the commodification of female bodies unprompted...

Thanks for flagging the earlier interview. I will listen to that one too.

Thank you for bringing this podcast to my attention, I'd not heard of it before. I see there are interviews with Kellie Jay Keene from 2020 and with Stop Surrogacy now. Looks like an interesting podcast.
