  • Good topics

    I like the range of topics; and also the fact that there are no ads, which lends credibility to the podcast.

    The host seems to care a lot about the content, but has a valley-girl way of talking, with lots of breathy “yes” and “yeahs,” which sound quite fake, so that’s off-putting for me personally.
