    Honestly, when I watch these tv movies, I always look up the story behind them. Now you’re telling me there’s a podcast for that??? I love the voice and commentary. Not too jokey but not dead pan serious. Seriously amazing.

  • Found You on TikTok

    I have been trying to figure out how to leave a review since I took the chance on listening to a podcast for the first time. You are my first ever podcast to find and decide to listen too. I started a week ago and now I’m hooked. It comes in when my phone connects to my truck and my kids are like “what is this?” 😂😂 You have a great voice and I love your emotion and inflection. It’s perfect. I would love to hear how you do your research in an episode. 5 HUGE STARS ⭐️.

  • Radio DJ caricature

    I keep trying to listen bc the subject matter is interesting, but oh my God, I just can’t. She talks like she’s a sitcom caricature of a radio host. Seriously, look up “Always Sunny Q Crew” and that’s how she talks. It’s unbearable. Just tell a story, you don’t have to be so obnoxious about it.
