    I guess reading negative reviews of a podcast that center on the smart-while-female host being “annoying” shouldn’t surprise me, given that listeners also complain about delivery from genius hosts Jamie Loftus, Karina Longworth, Chelsey Weber-Smith, and Sarah Marshall, all of whom have incredibly well-researched and worthwhile shows. Get over the delivery/style, get into the content. This show is exceptional.

  • Don’t listen to haters

    Wow the reviews here are mean as hell. This podcast is fabulous, well researched, and Molly is a great host. I find the voice reenactments charming and irreverent. It’s aural storytelling, people. Not every podcast has to be straight shot with no editing flourishes. If that’s your thing, this show isn’t for you. Why is it that female hosts always get flack for their delivery? Seems like misogyny to me. Molly is clearly passionate about the subject matter and has done her homework. I love that sh... more
