  • Get to the point

    I listened to one episode with January, and if you’re going to make statements about how women don’t know how to be women anymore, you’d best get to the point of what you mean… and she doesn’t. So I’m out on this podcast show. Better hosting is needed.

    Tried to listen to it but when women in Texas are talking about not being allowed to kill their babies, it is not a podcast for me.
