My Year in Mensa Podcast Review
The Pitch:
Comedian Jamie Loftus takes you through her year in Mensa.
The Product:
More than any podcast, you are really going to have to just listen to this. If only for the SFX. *airhorn*
Last year, in my review of The Bechdel Cast, I mentioned that co-host Jamie Loftus received death threats from Mensa. Now she is here to deliver her side of the story, from taking the test as the basis for a satirical article, to being accepted and actually going to a meet-up - with all of the hilarious, definitely not worrying situations she found herself in during this process.
I had pre-conceived ideas about Mensa and its membership. So did Loftus. And to a certain extent she got that. But, to paraphrase Marti DiBergi in This Is Spinal Tap, she got more…a lot more.
The podcast is a four part deep dive into the (questionable at best) merits of IQ tests, the psyche of all concerned, and the nightmarish hellscape that is being a Woman on the Internet.
Can You Sleep To It?
If you can deal with the *airhorns* but it would be rude, right?
