  • Long time listener.

    This is such a wonderful podcast. I enjoy each and every episode. I do have a big complaint- sorry- the sound quality is terrible. Sometimes it sounds like the hosts are talking underwater. The volume fluctuates often and is sometimes very low and muffled. It would be awesome if this could be rectified.

  • Good so much to learn about woman

    Thank you for making this podcast. It is really interesting and I can learn about women I never heard from. What sounds weird to me is talking about the parents as mama and papa. But maybe other listeners like that. Go on.
