Customer Reviews
Shameful Yesss!
As a faithful listener, I can’t believe I hit the nail on the head with the couple that wasn’t pleased with your interview. I remembered when you spoke about it at that time. Bob & Sheila would have been too much for this episode…
This has become one of my favorites
Demetria is insightful, hilarious, and her ability to tell stories especially about her adventures are the best! Sometimes it feels like inner monologue and others it is like I am catching up with a friend. Join the odyssey and listen
No real aim
This pod has fallen off. I used to enjoy the cultural and pop culture segments. Now it’s seems like a personal diary that poorly edited peppered heavily with ads. Not engaging or seems to care about audience retention.
