Canada2 years ago - Don’t listen to insecure people
I find this a great, educating podcast. Someone said it was fat phobic.. I definitely disagree. That was a reflection from internal trauma that has not been dealt with and it manifested as an insecurity on that specific podcast episode topic. All Laura is trying to do is spread good information and her knowledge so whoever said that, maybe focus less on name calling.

Apple Podcasts5MorganFGreenwoodUnited States3 years ago - Unethical sponsors
Listened to this show until I heard ads for RBC right at the top of the show. RBC is one of the worst banks for investing in the fossil fuel industry. It made it hard to take the show seriously and mired the ethics and premise of the podcast after hearing this ad 👎🏻
