Awesome
Amazing podcast. I’ve learned so much from this.
Can't take her mispronunciation anymore
I used to love this but her inability to pronounce words correctly makes it unlistenable to me now. So irritating. Why doesn't an editor or producer correct her? I'm out.
Perfect, every single time.
Perfect, every single time. (Update: how this podcast has a rating of 4.7 instead of 5 is wholly beyond me.)
