From good to great

You can hear the progression from fan outrage to investigative journalism as these presenters attract guests with specific professional experience and insight, as well as insiders and the benefit of being right there on the ground in L.A. I looked forward to this each week, learned a lot and wouldn’t be surprised if this one issue turned into some kind of civil rights case. It’s a feminist issue and a human rights cause. Thank you and I’m so sad it’s over!

The best Britney Coverage

Thank you for all of your work, and for persisting in exposing the abuse conservatorship Britney Spears has been trapped in. This is a great follow on podcast from Britney's Gram.

So interesting and immersive

I love how you describe not only what is happening but where it is like how you say the kind of place litter would blow around. It adds a lot of extra depth to just the story. I also love the sound effects in the background while your talking.
