  • Do you listen to these

    January 2nd episode with Glynn is literally joking about being an AA sexual predator. You need to remove this episode. You may want to look at the ratio of men to women speakers too. You’re like 90% men. It’s not the makeup of AA.

  • Quality Podcast, Not Enough Women…

    This speaker podcast is very good quality, and the content is legit AA solution centered. However, there are a disproportionate amount of men speakers, and I have yet to come across any LGBT speakers. I feel like it would be beneficial to have more inclusivity.
