  • Dumbing down the readers…

    You had me until you started crawling all over yourself to apologize for the author, the authors time/customs and even changed what the author wrote to appease what I can ONLY guess YOU think are small minded podcast listeners. Most of us are well read and understand customs of the time this was written. Stop pandering and read these amazing stories as intended.

  • Political correctness

    How dare you leave the term white people in your white people story. At least you changed the title. At least the black man people will be reconciled. It amazes me the justification to change literature. At least you mansplained it. You are absolutely correct in one thing. It is your podcast to do it what you will. My choice is to not listen anymore.
