I found this through outside, I’d have to say it fits with being fun, adventurous, off-center… I’m learning some things… And allows me to enjoy the fantasy of maybe, just maybe…
Apple Podcasts4NopeNoneOfYourBusiness!United States9 months ago - The meat eater
First heard of this podcast on the meat eater podcast on her first season when going through the meat eater backlog iSubscribed and half sense listen to all of your podcasts and have enjoyed all of them and I hope you as a podcaster and journalist keep doing what you do
Apple Podcasts5WafistmethodUnited States10 months ago - Pathetic
Listened to the episodes on Bigfoot. Too glib and NPR like. As one reviewer said “ sarcastic and mocking”. Although she covered various topics it came out shallow. She doesn’t do justice to the numerous reports and dismisses eye witnesses and footprints as “ eye witness accounts aren’t credible” and “footprints aren’t evidence”. I will remove this podcast after completing this review.
