    The most annoying, masturbatory, self-important nothing burger I’ve ever come across. The endless commercials were actually a breath of fresh air.

    The first twenty minutes of the first episode is spent trying to convince us how popular, beautiful, and locally famous this woman was/is etc. it reminds me of when you watch The Bachelor and some Z lister makes a cameo and they spend half the episode gushing over how amazing and famous the person is.

    like how long do I have to wait for a story, hook etc.

    I’m not sure if I’m more annoyed at her voice or the fact that she got taken in by all of this. She should have realized that if a company wants to talk to you about having your product in their store they will pay for you to come to them. And she repeats herself constantly. Name dropping is also annoying.

    Anyone not giving this podcast 5 stars is bananas. So well done. A tragic story for all the victims, but way to fight back! Hopefully this gives everyone some peace and closure.
