Format 5 Ifeoma 1
I love this format, but the word is ASK not axe. I find myself wanting to skip Ifeoma Dike’s episodes. It’s not just that word but so many inflections that are distracting.
Top notch hosts
All of the hosts of this show are fantastic, and I sincerely do not understand other’s criticism of Ifeoma Dike. Her presentation and reading are professional and it is a GOOD quality to have a diverse set of presenters and inflections. Love everything about this pod, from the hosts to the top notch reporting.
Great news and great hosts
The goat story really brightened my day! Thanks for spreading the good news! The hosts are so funny!
