  • No kudos for sexists!

    Your apology means nothing, clearly if these are the words that came out of your mouth on a podcast you knew was going out to the world, what words are you saying in private? Two stars because the one star reviews get deleted 🩷

  • What’s wrong with running

    The disgusting misogyny broadcast on this podcast was prerecorded, edited then uploaded, so it was no mistake or slip up that it was broadcast. It was fine with them until people called them out. Toxic men in running is why so many women runners doubt themselves needlessly. It’s why it’s an intimidating sport for women to start.
