  • Dogs can stay in the yard.

    I wanted to love this podcast because I am a huge James Patterson fiction fan. However, as a podcast fan, I am not. He talks over women and doesn’t listen to what is being said. When he interviewed Dolly, he cut her off all the time. I couldn’t get through the podcast. It was maddening. No thank you.
