Just found this podcast I enjoyed the first couple of episodes the stories are interesting but I can’t deal with all the constant giggling and laughing. Reminds me of the morbid podcast. Can be annoying.
I started off liking this podcast because I covered tales from Latino culture, but after a while, there were a few things that kept bothering me.
