  • Too many episodes

    Story was a bit interesting but the producers believe in telling you what happen then letting the participants tell you what happened then they tell you again. The ending was very obvious 1 or 2 episodes would have been fine

  • Dolphin Penis

    I thought there may be one episode that mentioned Dolphin pleasuring but I’m sad to report it’s the whole show and that I had to hear the phrase “Dolphin Penis” 100 times more than one should in life. I laughed out loud thinking about the people producing this podcast. What a waste of time.

  • Interesting story, but weird tone

    Interesting (harrowing) story, but narrated as if this is a children’s tale. Very odd.
