In an ocean full of podcasts this podcast is a mermaid. A unicorn. So different, so unique, and delightfully (yet depressingly) enjoyable! I have no connection to the show this is just my personal opinion. Episode three can be a bit of a hard listen, although I still enjoyed it. And if it’s not your cup of tea just skip to episode four. I’m sure this type of humor and “in your face” honesty isn’t for everyone but it’s been one of my favorites this year. All 10 episodes are out to binge now! And a special word to the creator, Kim; All I can say is bravo and thank you! I really hope to hear a season 2! You deserve all the awards 🏆🥇 🦄🎧🧜‍♂️
