GEM 💎
I stumbled upon this gem of a podcast! Aura is funny and I want you to be my new bestie!!! I’m so excited to keep listening! Thank you for speaking on this topic
❤️🧡💛💚💜
I am obsessed!
I’ve listened through several times now and I can comfortably say I’m obsessed with Aura and the podcast. As a true crime podcast connoisseur, I was missing not only the LGBTQIA+ coverage I wanted, but to get it from a local star is an added bonus. Aura presents the facts in a way that is relatable and entertaining, I know she will go far in life!
A much needed topic!
Focusing on underrepresented (or over-vilified, sexualized, scandalized) LGBTQ+ community crimes is long overdue. Aura definitely has potential and as he said, will benefit from a cohost or guests. Still, he’s an interesting host which is impressive for a solo podcast!
Very MFM-esque so if you’re into that, check this out! These are also shorter and don’t have the current MFM complain-about-our-success-for-20-minutes which has been turning a lot of us off.
Keep at it Aura :)
