Customer Reviews
Highlight of my week!
I rarely write reviews, however I had to express my gratitude for yet another great episode. I absolutely love Demetria and her podcast. It’s rare to find a podcast in any genre that is so consistently good, week on week. She has such a witty way with words, her storytelling is so engaging and she always hits the nail on the head with her commentary on current affairs / popular culture. Thank you for being a shining star throughout the grey skies of this global pandemic *Demetria voice* “A GLOBAL PANDEMIC!!!!” and (continuing) racial injustice we are all facing. You are appreciated! 🖤
All the Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Insightful and fearless journalism, whose style is unique and profoundly resonates, which each and every listener.
Congratulations 🥳 on your deserving success 🙏🏿
Diversified and insightful
Demetria has a lot of opinions and a great way to express them. I learn a lot about conversations happening in the US that don’t reach Europe. It is interesting and entertaining. I hope they’ll be plenty more.
