  • good in theory!

    great concept! i love the intention of this podcast and have learned a lot but the older episodes are SO hard to listen to. the host talks over and constantly interrupts the women he has on, asking questions and then practically answering for them. meanwhile he lets the men ramble themselves to oblivion. could be much more respectful. i have yet to listen to newer material so (hopefully) this may have changed

  • Not all podcasts have migrated

    All episodes from Sound Works Collection were going to be migrated however the current list is spotty. I’m waiting for my favorite episode from 2/2017 to be copied over.
