  • Needs Work

    A lot of work is needed to get this podcast up to the quality of the most popular ones.

    The host reads her script like she's reciting a book report in school. Even remarks she makes that are clearly meant to be off hand, are clearly scripted, and read as such.

    It's not a podcast I could ever binge, or even listen to two episodes in a row.

    Don't think I'll continue following, but I wish her best of luck.
