The Knife has become one of my top podcasts. I loved Hannah as the host of The Opportunist. Hannah and Patia cover a great mix of stories and I like that they bounce between interviews of people telling their own stories, to the less formal off record episodes. Truly one of the best shows out there right now!
I love the variety of subjects that Patia and Hannah cover. I find myself wishing it were Thursday so I can hear the next episode.
I love my Exactly Right Fam and wish all of my favorite episodes didn’t come out on the same day?! But as much as I am forever loyal to MFM, I find I can't wait until Thursday to listen to the Knife right away. These ladies speak with such true authenticity, care for their guests, and have shows that carry such a strong message.
I’d been looking for the host Hannah Smith’s next podcast, and was happy to find this one.
Excellent narrative pacing, writing, and research.
Good stuff. Best of luck, you two!
Patia and Hannah are great story tellers. I enjoy their commentary and interesting stories. Each week is something new which is nice to get more educated on different types of crimes.
