I'm a long term listener of Jen and Karla's podcast and I had somewhat accepted how ill prepared they usually are, however this week drove me insane.
The topic was "where are the now" mostly discussing iconic kid/teen tv stars from the 90s. I follow some of the people on Instagram and even a vague interest in them would reveal that alot of what K&J spouted as fact was rubbish. I find it infuriating that basic research is so alien to them.
Examples:
- Melissa Joan Hart: K said she gave up acting after appearing in a Britney Spears "Crazy" video. Lazy Karla, she starred in her own successful TV show "Melissa & Joey" from 2010-2015. Karla also said she recently became a mother. Her first child was born in 2006. Also said she lived in Tennessee but pronounced it Ten-Nah-Say. Sorry, how has she never heard that State pronounced before? She also pronounced "Chic" as "Shik"
Moving onto Jen. Another series of lazily researched info. Discussing twins Cynthia & Brittany Daniel (not Daniels, Jen) she tells us that Brittany had "Hopkins lymphoma" not Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, which she actually had
she tells us they share an Instagram account "like a couple who don't trust each other" em, a quick insta search would reveal that they have their own accounts, but also a shared one for their website. Jen proceeds to tell us they run a website, which she didn't bother going on, but can tell us is about yoga and photography. Eh OK.
Everyone makes mistakes, but theirs are so sloppy, ill researched and full of glaring errors that a basic Google search would quickly remedy. Its a shame because I do like them but I can't listen to such rubbish anymore.
