She was grating to listen to. And she didn't know much about wrestling from earlier than maybe a couple of years prior. She didn't know Cornette prior to being assigned as his "producer" and co-host. You could tell he didn't really have much desire to interact with her, just his guests. It was bad. Sucks a racist rant is what had to happen to put an end to their relationship, but something had to. Brian Last, who Cornette has known for over 20 years, then took over for her. Additionally, she also said some questionably anti-Semitic things. She had some very strange unsettling views on ethnicity/culture. She turned me off the Cornette Podcast long before Corny's racist meltdown.

What's it called? I can only find the Arcadia one, which is Brian's site that keeps all the old stuff up but nothing new, or the "JC vs the world" one, with nothing but old stuff from shoots (there's a notice on the About page that specifies it doesn't carry certain content from Corny). Official Jim Cornette OK, thank you!

Cornette's easy to listen to, because if Kenny Omega or Joey Ryan come up, you get to turn off the video and not listen to the same whining rant he had on it the last 400 times.

I listen to Cornette sometimes as I like his promos, but I take it all with a pinch of salt. He's an old school pro wrestling manager who has found a new medium to keep doing what he's good at it.
I mean it all falls down when you take a step back and realize he's accusing anyone he can of "killing the business" by exposing too much of it whilst he hosts a podcast twice a week that pulls the curtain back on wrestling.
He also claims however many listeners he has as "proof" his way of thinking on wrestling is valid in this day and age but never factors in that a portion of his audience aren't listening because they necessarily agree with him but more because they find his "meltdowns" entertaining.

Warning: Language.
I get if you're not getting paid and the trolls, but complaining about wrestling fans always talking about wrestling? Glad you quit.

I liked Alice when she was the co-host and the one time she got Jim to be a guest on her show was fascinating (no wrestling at all and very little politics). It showed a completely different side of him. He is everything Bruce Prichard says about him: he is a very smart man who does have moments of gregariousness and that was on display during Alice’s show. But she lost me with this rant.

I thought Alice had a nice voice for podcasting, but yeah, sounds like it was a pretty terrible fit for her.

Corny's shows are staples of my weekly routine.
He's such a good promo normally that even when he shits on things I like (hardcore wrestling, Omega etc...) I still usually find it very entertaining.

The best recent episodes of the Experience have been the “deep dives” that he did on SMW and OVW. If you saw either of Kayfabe Commentaries Timelines that he did, he goes into similar detail on the business end of those two promotions. And he dispenses some weird trivia associated with those eras (i.e. did you know Cena wrestled Bobby Eaton at an OVW show?). I would love to see him do a deep dive on the ROH years.
