Finally listened to this and found it to be a wonderful group of stories about criticism. I especially liked the first act about tourists at a Black church in Harlem. And as a person who was also slightly (but more ironically) obsessed with Cats, the final act really touched me.
A Chinese citizen reporter takes the last train to Wuhan before the city shuts down. He records the day-to-day happenings on the ground. Must listen middle segment of this episode.
The theme of this episode is about how everyone is a critic. Features a hilarious segment where Ira Glass reads Amazon...Show More
