  • Good, but…

    I like the content and length of this podcast. I’m having a difficult time understanding the host unfortunately. So I had to stop listening as I spent most of my time rewinding to try and understand what she was saying.

  • Excellent discussions

    The host really knows the guests’ work and has great questions. Aside: yikes, the ableism in the reviews of this podcast. Sigh.
