Like the content
American listener here and I enjoy the content. I listen to the podcast in the car. I can hear at the host with no problem. The audio for guest is very low and I can hardly hear it.
Sending love from the US!
American listener here based in LA. Love tuning in to learn from and about all the stripes of my Black British /British POC kin. Richie Brave is a thoroughly enjoyable host, and his sprightliness is matched by knowledgeable and entertaining guests. Keep doin’ your thing!
