These amazing women have taught me so much and I have to give credit to their style - they give so much context and teach you about the surrounding issues regarding the subject of the episode, which in turn leads to that much more insight and education! I absolutely CONSUME their work and tell everyone I know to give it a listen. I am learning something new every time I turn it on and I just adore them as both teachers and commentators. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great listening
