- Please stop giggling!
I just listened to my first episode. The one with Michael Ornelas and “Fine” Dining. The content was fine, but I couldn’t get past the female hostess, Amber, giggling all the time. So annoying! She giggles after asking every question. I am not exaggerating. I got the impression she may have even been flirting with the guest. So inappropriate, especially if she wants to be taken seriously as a podcaster. I am going to listen to one more episode before giving up on her.
