  • UNITA Triangle

    It is not necessarily a happy ending. But it is a podcast full of love, resilience and strength. It is a truth in a world full of questions. Artfully told, honest emotions and thoughtful in every aspect. I appreciated this story and how it was delivered.

  • Mansplaining at its finest

    I really appreciated you and your work, till the last minutes of the 2nd season.

    As a victim myself, I felt that your little speech of solidarity was patriarchal, unnecessary, and super cringy 🥲
