Thanks for your great work!

Important topics discussed but need a different host

Very important topics are discussed, but the new host’s accent is too strong, and it makes it very hard to follow what she is saying. It’s off-putting. Not sure I will continue listening now. Sorry! I still give five stars because I support your work!
