Customer Reviews
Love the pod… not the constant loud music interruptions
A wonderful pod that is unfortunately interrupted loudly by the music every few seconds. It’s hard to listen to and not pleasant (the music).
Thank you for great content!
Podcast gold!
Such a pleasure to listen to a podcast that is so beautifully told, so cleverly produced, so wonderfully researched. The Missing Crypto Queen is podcast gold.
ALL cryptocurrency is a scam!
Hahahaha I love this stuff. Cryptocurrency was supposedly invented to be a ‘currency of the people’ so the big bad greedy banks and governments could no longer control the financial system. How ironic it is that the fools who ‘invested’ did so with one thing in mind - greed. You can’t protect the unwashed masses from themselves.
