Great changes

Usually, when things are reworked or revamped, it ends up being one of those “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” situations. That is so not the case here. I stopped following this show maybe a year ago? When a girlfriend sent me a recent episode, I decided to give it a try again, in spite of myself. I’m so glad that I did. What a difference! I’m loving the new host, and the slight changes in the way the stories are presented. It’s always fun to discover a new podcast that I actually like. Although this one may not be literally new, it definitely *feels* new and refreshed. Looking forward to hearing more!

I miss the aftermath

Changing my 5 star review to a 3. I miss the aftermath. It is so focused on the gore and descriptions. I personally don’t need that. I love hearing their story of triumph.
