  • Racist

    I found this podcast by searching a case I wanted more information about. It was the only one I could find in English to listen to. I had to turn it off. For hosts who talk about racism they sure are racist against white people! I couldn’t even really listen to the story because they kept bringing up racism and politics. The episode I was trying to listen to it almost seemed they were trying to sympathize with the culprit because of his race. Very hard to listen to and I had to shut it off

  • Stiff Script Reading

    I like these two ladies...even when there's a funny comment or a little bit of banter, they quickly get right back to the story. The minimum way I can listen to a two host show. Having said that, one of the ladies sings WAY too often...it's not funny nor easy on the ears. I really wish she would stop...she cannot sing.

    I do find that they both tend to be awkward/unnatural sounding while they read from the script, however one of them is definitely 'stiffer' than the other. It can be a little o... more
