Customer Reviews
Don’t stop
Not sure if the podcast has ended since no new episodes but very interesting. Hoping you don’t let the critical comments discourage you. It’s not representative of everyone

I don’t disagree with your facts, only your selection of facts that you use.
Please try to be equally hard on everyone
