It was “Brutaful”. Just like the standing ovation at the Academy Awards. Just an unstable guy with too much ego. (The cause of all suffering, as well you know)
Hello! Dang does this podcast fill the hole in my heart from the devastating loss of Storytellers. Thank you for your work!
I have a request: is it possible to add attribution to the text transcript? Perhaps the names or even initials of the person speaking? I have a disability and reading the transcript is much easier for me than listening. I sometimes get a little lost trying to figure out who is saying what throughout the interview.
Thank you again!
At no point did Leah differentiate which sister was speaking. Didn’t address any by name? Nice interview, had no idea which sister was expressing their opinion.
Hey Leah. Introduce your guests if you’re speaking with more than one at once
