Customer Reviews
INCREDIBLE!!!
Love the variety of topics that you guys cover. Informative and enticing. Kelly and her team do an excellent job engaging with the audience in such an immersive way. MY NEW FAVOURITE PODCAST FOR REAL.
Thanks
Go BASE!
One of my favourite podcasts for sure! So professionally made, excellent journalism, each season makes me discover a whole universe. The Buffalo Extreme story especially was the most touching, real and profound story I heard in a long time. Hearing the voices of those girls and women, their vulnerability mixed with so much sensibility, strength and resilience, it gave me chills and hope in humanity. 💪🏻💜
Another great season
Great work by investigative journalists at NPR. Hope there is a follow up by the US Marines.
