I am disappointed with Katie and Jesse liking this post. The reason has nothing to do with what the post says after: “I haven’t started listening yet”.

Why would you like a post from someone who admits to not having listened? I have heard you two many times call out persons who haven’t read books and then rightfully disparage these persons who then express opinions on them. Granted this is a comment and not a book or a piece of journalism. But the principle is still the same. Admitting up front that you haven’t read something should disqualify you from expressing an opinion on it.
There is a wide chasm between “I’m excited to listen to this episode and feel validated by its existence”, particularly with a follow up after that comment with having had listened to it, and “THIS IS CRAP AND PROBLEMATIC AND IM NEVER LISTENING TO IT”.
Also, let's be honest. This person is a BARPod listener. They know what Jesse and Katie will address. They're also very familiar with the UU org. I'm guessing they knew what this would be about, what it would say, etc. Yes, we shouldn't assume, but I would venture a guess that if you asked her before listening what it would say and checked it she would be highly accurate.
