  • Horrible Voice

    Good story, horrible voice. If you are one of those people who value podcast host voices, you will hate this. Not at all soothing. Abrupt, unsettling, annoying. It’s hard to like the narrator because her voice is so annoying.

  • Great podcast for an unfamiliar topic to me!

    I’m a couple of episodes in. Interesting. I’m not familiar with this story at all so it’s all new to me. As an aside, I’m not sure why being anti-racism or “woke” equals “anti-white”. People are just looking for true equality. That should be normal.
