Great
I really love your pod keep it up
Segregated media should never be celebrated
I don’t know how this helps things. I know an opportunist could possibly make money from this, so I get that, but it’s not for anyone to take seriously.
The host is really smart and brave
She really holds the powerful to account she is so opressed and rich !!
