Such an important recording at this time in our country. Women’s choice and health care is paramount. I thought we had left this issue behind as a country. As a mother of many daughters it’s worrying.

I’ve been a listener since the debut of this podcast. As others have already noted the show seems to be turning into memoir promotions shifting away from the truly engaging personal accounts of family secrets. Hoping for a return to more relatable stories.
Generally a great show/Too many ads

I enjoy most of the shows. Could handle less episodes of experts talking on topics and hear more real people stories. I subscribe to iheart. Sure wish it could be commercial free for people that pay. 4-5 minutes of ads in a row is awful. Worse than television.
So sorry
