I really like what you’ve done here. I appreciate the format of 1 word per show with enough story to get into it, but it doesn’t drag on. I don’t find my attention wandering like with some podcasts. The host is great. I’m not bothered by “vocal fry” as others are, her voice is fine. The feeling is of a friend telling me an interesting thing they learned over lunch. Can’t wait for more episodes!
Update: please come make more I miss this show!!
