  • Non-celebrity podcast - thank goodness

    Refreshing to listen to a non-celebrity podcast....as if celebrities have more of a right to spread their opinion to hold a podcast than others.

    Most recent Up episode: one of the guests had DREADFUL audio!! Please don’t let anyone use ear buds!!!! So hard on the ears to want to keep listening. We’ll see if I make it through.

    That’s all. I keep coming back. Phil’s unreflexive masculinity keeps pushing me away.
