Customer Reviews
Best podcast ever!!!!
I love the host, the content, the music, everything about this show. It makes me uncomfortable and makes me think about the world around me in a way I didn’t before listening to this podcast; at least not to the degree I do now. I recommend it to everyone I can. Keep it coming.
Better than all the rest
This is the best podcast out there in Podworld.
Period.
The music has to go
I tired to listen to a full episode but the music was unnerving. Like it feels like it’s there while they are giving background info and you expect it to stop once the real story begins but it doesn’t. Which is weird and distracting from the story. I don’t mind their voice even if it’s bit monotone at times but the music gets in the way of the story. Too bad bc these stories sound interesting.
