  • A Fun Listen

    I really enjoyed this production from Molly Lambert! It is well researched and quite comprehensive! It is about way more than just Jenna. I also really liked all the narrations from the different people in the story. (And loved the little digs at capitalism!)

And even more fascinatingly, the podcast explores what happened when those effects bounced off tech world, illuminated them like a pinball machine, and came rolling back at twice the speed. Molly Lambert traces a wonderfully expansive web of interconnected stories and lives for this. And she does it with such sol... more

    Why is it so important to know the religion and astrological sign? It takes away from a story that is compelling on its own.
