For Wednesday’s edition of the Culture Gabfest Slate Plus bonus segment, hosts Stephen Metcalf, Dana Stevens, and Julia Turner discuss the evolution of the show since it began eight years ago.  

Listen to the gabbers as they discuss the lessons they’ve learned along the way. How did they each learn to deal with negative feedback in the early days? And how did they develop their podcast personalities?

Also: Hear why Julia was so nervous about hosting the show’s first few episodes.
