  • Appreciate it, but some ugh moments

    Hello! I am a new listener, so please take that into account. Occasionally during the episodes, I’ve listened to, I feel that the male host dismissive of the female host, and even mocks her. And one time, he was laughing about something that didn’t seem funny, and the audio was actually eclipsing her serious reflection on a question he asked. I need less of that in my life.🤣
