Just A Word Of Support

Published October 4, 2020 · Updated July 6, 2022

Hi Shat crew
LTLFTE,
Just heard your most recent Lovecraft country podcast (Ep 7) (yes Im slow) and your soul searching damned if you do/dont dilemma. It saddens me because your caveats and qualifications are clear To me throughout – king B is right – your following want to hear your take on shows.

Id just like to voice my support and acknowledge how your podcasts deepen my viewing of shows like this, Westwotld etc – wasnt here for American Gods (dodged s bullet there) but you have enhanced my enjoyment or west world watchmen true det etc

Im a middle class straight White Australian man of Maltese descent (and so also a beneficiary of white privilege at the expense of our indigenous peoples) with a curiosity and a desire to learn and broaden my knowledge understanding and ability to empathize. Im also listening to the hbo cast and so trying to get the fullest experience I can.

When it comes to LCC Im guess Im not the audience either but at least Im trying and isnt that the point; and to those who would easily dismiss me and my ilk why reject someone genuinely trying to understand the art and where it is coming from – Im trying to open myself up to the art but were not going to get anywhere as a planet if as soon as I ask a question or make an oberservation i am dismissed out of hand.

The sort of criticism I understand youve received should be reserved for those who approach the art in bad faith which at least where I sit should preclude you

Please hang in there and keep up the good work and tell the naysayers they can ask for a refund (as if this is pay per view) or they are also free to stop listening and resume when this season of LCC is over.

geez!
