  • Whyyyyy???

    I literally wait for 2 months to start listening to a 4 part series when all 4 parts are available, so that I don't forget what is being discussed amid the many other podcasts I listen to, only to be told, at the beginning of the 4th part that it has now become 5 parts. I like the host, but having cases spread over nulti-parts that are spread over months, makes it difficult to remember all the minutiae for that length of time. I wish the host well, though I think I'm done.

    Imagine having a baby girl that you simply love and adore when it’s born. Only, for it to turn around and kill you when it’s 12.

    What’s wrong with these kids brains???
