  • Horrible podcast, mouth noises

    This woman is not sharing facts all of the time, she bends the truth to match her bias. She is VERY liberal with the truth (and her politics). There are so many other great podcasts talking about PE. And those people LISTEN to a variety of viewpoints. If you like a liberal echo chamber of a woman with a yt savior complex, who uses her mother’s passing to garner sympathy, the LiKe AnD sUbScRiBe.
