  • I subscribed to get no-ads, so worth it!! Munchaussens By Proxy

    I’m really loving this podcast! I only discovered it yesterday, and what a find! Andrea is an excellent narrator/story teller/investigator. You can see (hear) all the hard work that has gone into this. What I really appreciate is finding a podcast that have women speaking in their natural voices, who aren’t putting on a fake voice (mostly vocal fry which drives me insane). So I love this mature, professional, well thought-out, well investigated, and intelligent podcast. THANK YOU!
