  • nice variety but host can do some work

    I recently started this podcast and liked the different variety of topic being covered and not just focusing on one specific subject like some of the true crime ones

    However I do wish the host can do a better job at interviewing

    She constantly interrupt guest and keep saying “ tell me “ “tell me “

    that feels more like a job interview than actual natural conversation
