So, this is a fascinating article and I greatly appreciate the time that went into it. I also appreciate that Ira Glass was not immediately defensive about it, and seems to have cooperated with it to at least some degree. But...
isn't the most obvious answer, that it's male dominated because the Boss is a male? I'm not saying that I have proof of this being the case, but it seems like an obvious hypothesis to check out. Too simple? Or are there no comparable shows where a woman is the Top Boss, to compare to?
- itronitron 8y agothey could do a comparison with Fresh Air, hosted by Terry Gross on NPR
- spacehome 8y agoIt's not really the same kind of show. Fresh Air mostly consists of Gross interviewing a single interviewee.
- rossdavidh 8y agoTrue, but over many years. It would be interesting to see if the pattern is different (or maybe even more interesting if the pattern is the same).
