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.
One of my fav podcasts. I have been binge listening to all the episodes for the past few weeks and I gotta say, it’s suuuuper interesting. Even though it sounds like she’s reading off a script, still amazing.
I love this podcast! It’s so fun and Heidi has the best voice for podcasting. I look forward to it every week! Begging for a Backrooms episode asap
They must be using AI to write this because the script is ridiculously repetitive.
I really wanted to like this. Heidi has a gorgeous voice for podcasting.
But you can tell off the bat it’s extremely scripted and there’s no personal interest or monologue in the episodes at all. Every now and then you get a sound bite that sounds clipped in. Then it throws you off..
