And still the best podcast by far as Amber is the Best Journalist ive ever encountered. Ive learned so much and inspired, and pushed to fig and read and better my mind, life and soul. Thank you Amber and her team. Love all u,
This is a great podcast. Each story is interesting and unique.
Used to love it…now it just sounds like whining.
I used to love this podcast, but lately there have been way too many ads along with conversations with her husband, which are kind of annoying. I also think that she has gotten way too with her topics and it’s more of a personal conversation rather than just reporting the history. I’m going to hang in a little longer, but may Unfollow soon.
I loved this podcast but, like so many, they make the mistake of regurgitating dumb takes. I miss the days when people just stuck to telling interesting stories.
