Criticisms from Listeners*:

  • Episode Length: Some listeners have found the podcast to be too long. Each season of American Scandal is typically 10-12 episodes long, and each episode is about an hour long. This can be a bit daunting for some listeners, who may not have the time to commit to such a long podcast.
  • Narrative Bias: Some listeners have felt that the podcast is too critical of certain figures or institutions, and not fair enough to others.
  • Sensationalism: Some people have felt that the podcast focuses too much on the salacious details of the scandals, and not enough on the underlying causes and consequences.
