Reviews

  • Thank you NM

    Exactly what the title says. This podcast is good in the sense that it brings up topics that matter in today’s society especially as a young adult but honestly, without NM, it would have been very biased in its discussions. Lord knows she’s the best choice y’all made in making sure your content is more palatable to a wider audience.
