NM episode 3 recap, Jeff’s audio is entirely missing. Very frustrating!
The audio is cut off from one of the participants?
Whoever the guest who appears under the pseudonym Bee is, she was worthless. She repeatedly contradicted her own opinions, she seemed ignorant of details in the books, and she was completely unaware of any historical and cultural contexts. And she obviously found herself to be very funny; she wasn’t. I stopped listening the quarter of the way in Part 1of the episode that was supposed to be about Call for the Dead and skipped the second completely. Not worth the time listening.
A great listen!
Thanks for this podcast, true appreciation of an immense writer
