Great podcast, but holy smokes the sheer number of ads iHeart injects into these eps is ludicrous and borderline unlistenable. You need to be ready to skip ahead in 15 to 30 second increments and hope you're not missing the show once you get back to the actual podcast.
Fun podcast that’s a mix of history wrapped up in modern day anecdotes. Great way to learn about the equally important - but often overlooked - parts of our histories.
Your trippin if you think you about to get the truth from clear channel and its shareholders, investors & handlers. Braindead who praising this podcast and can’t think to wonder why this state-operated media is openly encouraging dissent and division in its own backyard as it peddles anti-family rhetoric and Bolshevik feminist ideals hard af. This podcast is the enemy, genius. Y’all don’t hear me though.
Henceforth with: I shall only ever refer to Mary the first, as Mary Two Door. Killed me softly, so much appreciation for all that ye do.
So much important information presented in an easy to digest way with some humor thrown in (complete with cute giggles) and without too many details on the horrors cool people endured while doing cool stuff. Very grateful to Margaret and the rest of the team for creating this incredible resource for us!
