Customer Reviews
Love her
She’s so real and easy to listen to.
So good!
I love listening to this podcast!
Blake is willing to talk about things that other podcasts refuse to talk about. Especially loved the vaccine podcast today! I’m pregnant and asked god to give me a sign if we need to vaccinate our child - then this episode popped up on my feed! Well needless to say I got my sign and loved all the I formation I received during this episode and every other episode of Blake’s. Please keep making these episodes!

Listening to your guest Seth was so sad. I can’t believe people like him exist. I pray both of you never need to be in a position where you are in a position where being pro choice is the only way to show mercy. I also pray Jesus will open both your hearts and your minds. I always think, in the Bible, people like you and Seth are the hypocrites who Jesus always points out and says not to be like. You both just spent the entire podcast slamming anyone who doesn’t think like you. You both just isolated and turned off any person that isn’t an extreme right conservative. I can’t imagine how many followers you lost to your podcast after this episode. Also, I must add, no man should have ANY say over a woman’s body.
