  • Big change!

    I love this Pod and the fusion of this Sisterhood! I wish nothing but absolute positive evolution for Christine and Em! If Christine is indeed moving into the production aspect of the pod I definitely would love to see a “hear” a collaboration with Roz Hernandez. And go full historical lore, investigation, with a discussion, share and debrief of the experience. Happy to keep listening and supporting, recommending this pod as long as it lasts, your’s truly, the Wicked Witch of the North, in MN. M... more
