  • Good podcast; Justine Eyre REALLY STINKS

    What are you folks -thinking having Justine Eyre read? Her voice is simply, and utterly excruciating. It is not really a matter of personal taste, yinz. It’s like listening to a fork being jammed into an in-sink-erator. Please: just have a little mercy. Good content though, so 4 stars!
