- :) :( stop reposting plzzzz
wouldn’t it be better to just disappear for a couple months and then come back with NEW stories? I guess not, from a marketing POV or something …. ugh, sorry y’all but it is disappointing. I can’t be the only one who feels this way …?!

United States25 days ago - Leftist BS
I used to enjoy this show when it had a more neutral stance. Lately it’s just leftist propaganda.
Apple Podcasts1FlippantGirlUnited Statesa month ago - New host voice is annoying!
The old host sounded like a moth flapping its wings by a flame, comforting, he pulled you in! The new host voice is soooo annoying with vocal fry! She needs voice lessons or find someone else, plenty of women don’t do vocal fry and sound comforting and like what you expect from a story teller!
Apple Podcasts4heatheratlUnited Statesa month ago - Was a long time listener
I am so sad to be unfollowing the show. I still love the moth, but couldn’t get past all the new GLP 1 commercials. I’m bombarded enough with these predatory adds enough but I didn’t expect to constantly be exposed to them on a show that feels like a safe and inclusive space. I wish the show would opt out of these type of ads.
