Host Needs Diction Lessons

This podcast is interesting and well done. However, the host should know that Britain is not pronounced Brih-In. Hoist yourself up if you’re going to be broadcast on something.

Mediocre

There is nothing new in this podcast. If you’ve been following Epstein and Maxwell story, save your time and find something else. First, it’s ridiculously stretched out. Second, not all journalists should be podcasters. I’m sorry but the host has an annoying voice, not easy on ears. Third, there is no new information. Everything that was presented was already known and recycled by every media outlet. There are couple women giving interviews on how horrible and selfish Maxwell dad and his famous daughter were but again, we already knew that.
