  • The Rise Of Dark Elizabeth

    I for one enjoyed what seemed like ‘Dark Elizabeth’ on the Hacks debunked episode. I think she threw out as many profanities as Lucy. Well done. Also, where is Jamliah for real?

  • The vocal fry is like nails on a chalkboard!

    I’m sorry but I have to skip the Jamila episodes. She’s a very good writer but just doesn’t have a voice for podcasting

  • Poor host

    What is up with Jamilah - why does she always sound like she has no energy and like she really doesn’t even want to be there? And has the worst vocal fry and ton of filler words? I really cannot listen to her. The other hosts are good and I do like the show overall.
