  • Unhelpful and Noisy

    I tried to listen to this podcast but a couple of things jumped out pretty quickly. They don’t really have knowledge to pass along, it’s seems to be articles that she reads and then fumbles through. She’s not articulate and fumbles the point so that you’re left wondering what the point was. On a lesser note, her extreme gulping sounds are terrible to listen to on a podcast. She gulps liquidly and frequently and it makes you want tot turn it off repeatedly
