  • The Best Ever

    Honestly - this is my emotional support podcast. I listen everywhere!! Both hosts are so relatable, likeable and knowledgeable and bring light to cases that aren’t always heard in the media- but absolutely deserve to be spoken about. They balance intellectually stimulating conversation with resources and facts and also some well needed reprieves and humanity. I truly feel like I’m at the ATFTC table and I’m coming back for seconds, thirds, hundredths!!❤️

    I really wanted to hear this story but the hosts annoyed me. Even when I skipped it was never cohesive. I gave up 20 minutes into the 1st episode. Will look for this topic elsewhere.
