- Brilliant
Great host, interesting content. I don’t know if Heidi Wong writes the scripts herself, if she does she deserves massive credit. Every episode is well presented and structured. The ‘Killers Who Changed A Country’ episode is meaningful. The show keeps getting better.

Heidi does this weird thing where she tells a story at a normal level, but then she'll suddenly yell. It's so strange.
She also uses rage-inducing vocal fry at the end of EVERY sentence, and that I cannot get past.
Unsubscribed.
