Listener sentiment
The most significant shift since the last summary period is a host transition: longtime host Hilda Labrada Gore appears to have stepped away, replaced by a new host named Kendall. Early reactions are divided — one listener welcomes Kendall's fresh perspective and background, while another laments the change, says the content feels different, and has stopped listening. A third simply asks "Where is Hilda?" The departure is notable because Hilda was previously one of the podcast's most frequently praised assets, credited for her genuine passion, thoughtful questioning, and warm on-air presence. Separately, a recurring complaint about AI-generated episode artwork continues to surface, with multiple listeners arguing it contradicts the Weston A. Price Foundation's nature-centered ethos. One recent reviewer also flagged unusually fast playback on recent episodes, suggesting either rushed post-production or altered recording speeds that make guests hard to follow. The broader tension noted previously — between devoted fans who value the show's willingness to challenge mainstream health orthodoxy and critics who see fringe or misleading claims — persists, but the host change is now the most immediate concern for the core audience.
