  • Good podcast, just a little heads up

    My kids play travel hockey so we’re always in the car and we love podcasts. This is a good family friendly one but we were listening to “Born in the USA” about Chinese food, and the host says Santa isn’t real at the top of the podcast. My 8 y.o daughter got very sad and we had to tell her the host was just joking. Good podcast, definitely give it a listen just maybe skip the very beginning with littles.
