Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 9.2k ratings
  • Dateline & 20/20 with independent journalism quality

    Of note, I pay for the iHeart subscription, therefore my review is heavily influenced by not having adds.

    Host has a great cadence, and is skilled in storytelling. But all while having great respect for the lives on whom she’s speaking, with a strong sense of truth and justice. Great podcast all around, but as a reminder, Im paying for no adds.

  • Seriously?

    I had to Google, because I thought it must be a parody, it was so bad. The Script, the cadence and rhythm of her voice, the inability to tell a linear story.
