  • Enjoying so far

    Logical layout of content with facts and unbiased views so far. There is a sensitivity as well which is important considering people have lost their lives and families have been devastated.

  • Meh

    Not bad, but I have reached a point where I can no longer deal with the speaker's pronunciation of words that end in "ing." (Example: for the word "getting" she says "getteen.") I guess it's just a pet peeve of mine, but I have unfollowed the podcast because of it 🤷‍♀️
