Customer Reviews
It’s Difficult NOT to Binge Listen
I think these discussions are great and need to be expanded across the nation. These conversations show us that our nation has made great advances and we still have more ground to break. People like these two contributors, who have grown up in a small city and do their part to impact the narrative, really make a huge difference and inspire and invoke the necessary changes, daily. I applaud their bravery and willingness to be open and vulnerable during these tough discussions.
This is what we need!
I am a SUPERFAN!!! I even turned on notifications for new episodes. That is HUGE for me.
