Customer Reviews
Tammy is a hero!
Fantastic podcast and well told story, but god damn, Tammy is a freaking saint. The world needs more humans like her.
Hooked in 1 episode
Great narrating and captivating topic! Highly recommend!
Hard to listen
It’s a great story, but Sam overdoes it a bit, pointing as much or more to his own delivery as to the story itself. That’s not just annoying from a social perspective; it’s also really hard on the ears! Not EVERY sentence should be “Whoah….. heavy…”
