  • Boring

    I just can’t take to this podcast, the presenter makes frequent jokes and quips that are rather boring and dull, I find her hard to listen to. Although the stories would be interesting, the presenter tells the story in a monotone voice and this with the cringy one liners make it uninteresting and boring.

HUN #62 - Ghosts, Grief, and Guidance: An Interview with Psychic Medium Leanna Anscomb
Q: What would you say to someone who is grieving and hoping for contact with a loved one?
She suggests asking for a sign, staying open to signs in a non-specific way, and recognizing that signs may come at varying times, with emphasis on the signs being meaningful rather than exactly as imagined.
