  • Well-researched stories told thru superb storytelling!!!

    Can't get enough of this since I first listened a month ago! This is perfect for me since I have been cutting down my screen time. I so love the fact that details of the stories featured here are well-researched! No bias. Please don't mind the bitter loyalists who don't want to hear the ill truths about their "precious family." More power, Ms. Christine!
