    I really like Charley but am frustrated when a podcaster speaks that which is not true.

    She mentioned in this podcast that it was once again a murder in Texas and she asked “are you ok down there Texas?”

    Charley when you said something stupid like that, you only had to google what are the top 10 states, based on population, have the most murders? Here are the top 10:

    Mississippi (~20.5 per 100,000 residents)

    Louisiana (~19.9 per 100,000 residents)

    Alabama (~14.2 per 100,000 residents)

  • Subscribers only

    I used to be a huge fan of all your podcasts but recently most of them are for subscribers only, I do understand that you have to make a living but it’s not an easy time for anyone in this country ! Perhaps you

    could do only for subscribers and not having any podcasts for the others that can’t afford to subscribe. Otherwise your content and stories are well documented and done!

  • So sad….

    I understand personal life changes but the amount of episodes have been significantly cut back and I’m just sad about it. Keeping 4 stars because when there is an actual episode, it is good.
