  • One of the best

    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!

  • My New Fav

    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.

A Dangerous Man
