  • Thanks for all the years of oddities

    Have listened for many years. So glad I found this podcast. That being said, the ads are a bit distracting and make it hard to sleep to, which was my favorite. However, after reading all the ‘woke’ comments in the reviews, I definitely have to make sure you get 5 stars. 😊 Never change!

It’s become a bit of an obsession and I have no shame for that. Conversations in my house ... more

  • You know, I Don’t Like

    Stopping filling my feed with shows from people I hate! Once, I understand, but to do it continually week after week. If I wanted to subscribe to these shows I would have already. Time to stop it with Oprah, Jay Shetty, Bowen Yang and all the other nonsense! It’s like buying a salad and getting sugary drinks forced on you.
