Yes **** ice
Abby has matured as a journalist but Robbie.. His takes seem more like takes on other people’s takes. Plus there’s been a strange edge to his voice and I’d swear there’s some micro dosing or something going on because its borderline incoherent.
Tried their paid model. Got charged for 4 episodes I haven’t even listened to yet, and wouldn’t have been interested in paying for anyways, looking at the descriptors. Fool me once. I’ll focus on creators that unite with anyone to do good and no one to do bad. I can’t afford it, literally and figuratively. Sucks.
