Terrific podcast that made me reflect, laugh, and entertained me. Some stand-out episodes included the first one, the one with Terry Gross. The one in which Jonathan goes to a fancy restaurant and the last one about his Abuelita going on a game show.

I listened to the first 2 episodes. Fortunately, I can’t relate to the host. Do people really spend this much time being self conscious of their social and economic status? I don’t get it, and I’m thankful for it. I think our culture is suffering from a major lack of self acceptance.

I love exploring this topic. It’s so fascinating as I find myself wandering between different classes depending on my surroundings. It’s also interesting what classes other people put you in vs what you self identify as. I’d love another season.

Love this show. It is very relatable and also informative.

The entitlement of the shredded cheese lady! Beggars can’t be choosers!

I don’t know what it is with the tendency of some supposedly educated neoliberals doing annoying, show-offy things like using the Japanese word for springs or obsessing over cashmere socks they chose to buy, then getting self-conscious about it and being faux self-deprecating. It’s like some weird tribal ritual to show they’re still good people. That’s what this show comes across as. I didn’t learn anything new about class. Instead I learned that people can’t just stop doing things they think are irritating or decadent. Instead they drone on and on about them while continuing to do them with no plans to stop.

This is an interesting podcast but it seems to imply that anytime you’re around a group of people, it’s a problem if they act differently from you. Or have different interests. Isn’t this just the human condition?

Thank goodness somebody is having the conversation about class in America. I want this show to keep going and I’m sad it’s over. There’s so much in here that inspires connection and relationship over separation based on cultural class ideology.

I would recommend reading the book Status Anxiety by Alain de Botton. This podcast doesn’t say much of anything about class.

There really does not seem to be any middle class anymore. The chasm between those struggling to get by (most of us) and the elite ultra rich, is downright cavernous and shameful. I really appreciate how you break things down here. Maybe more will see us ALL as human, which at the end of the day, we all are.
