Customer Reviews
Points of an enlightenment throughout!
This is far from a regurgitation of documentaries. Melanie and Jim provide insight and points of illumination that only enhance the story of the documentaries they review
Not just any podcast…
Melanee and Jim bring the passion and humor in every episode. They play well together and I sometimes find myself losing the plot because I enjoy their observations and anecdotes more that the documentary. Do yourself a favor!
Chemistry!
These two have always had chemistry and it alive and well on the mic. Love the personal stories woven in between analysis of the docs. Keep speaking from the heart. Can’t wait for the next one to drop!
