  • Over a decade. I’ve had enough

    I have learned so much. I was unaware of the Tulsa racial attack on black Wall Street and the history surrounding Maria tallchief. I really appreciate the hosts bringing these atrocities to my consciousness but their attempts to value signal so strongly has left me dreading to listen to each episode. Good night ladies. I am out

  • Vaccines

    Love the podcast but your take on vaccines does not include a complete study of the history! Please read or get a summery of The Moth and the Iron Lung and Dissolving Illusions! Also look up the stats of the British cities that rebelled against the small pox vaccine and there outcomes.
