Get over yourself girl.
Apple Podcasts1raremyotisUnited States2 months ago - What a whiner
Omg Mandy constantly complained about how tired and exhausted she is, and don’t get me started on her vocal fry and annoyingly whiny voice. The only positive this. The sound quality is terrible. Sick of her always mentioning her husband and he is just as bad always saying how awesome she is. She is a two bit reporter from some hick county town. If you have to ask for five star reviews, you are pathetic.
Apple Podcasts1cat264Australia2 months ago - Awesome podcast
I want so badly for this show to be good, but it’s 90% commentary, 10% facts. The occasional opinion would be fine, but when you can listen for 20 minutes straight without learning a single new fact, that’s a little over the top. The ratio is way off. More reporting, less trying to dunk on people.
