  • AI ads and ads for the Navy?

    Please review the Ads you let on the show. It is crazy to talk about the state of the world and let AI ads for divorce??? Or the Navy on the show. There are so many other advertisers out there. You have more choices now since you have more money and power.

  • Show needs a new name

    The show has pivoted, which is ok, but it’s Karen and Georgia retelling stories of historical people. I have other podcasts that go into different depth levels reviewing historical people so it’s not a podcast I listen to now. I like the repeat or updates, but we’re ignoring this. It’s become distasteful for them to talk about random women that were murdered now. I get u comfortable listening now because it’s so obviously different and it’s not addressed. I love them so I’ll take my one star rev... more
