SpoofingEncryption ,

they’ve taken the lead….

I love the sound and music !! The effects, I mean I’m high right now and it’s easy to follow along. This is the show I usually listen to at work in the mornings, and I’m just so entranced right now by one of the Sunday Reads (May 19/2024) the audio convinced my brain it needed to write a review, and the soft spoken voice, sweet melodies, among cool content. Very creative approaches and I would eat my hat to meet the beautiful people behind it. I’ve listened to y’all since last year and Apple had my favorite for a while with their 10 min segments but I’ve finally declared this my favorite news one, and among the top pods for me. I listened to two back to back after my second job and it’s just what I needed ✌🏼🏄☮️

Love!

Some episodes seem like something I wouldn’t be interested in but within 5-10 minutes, I’m in and learning something new.

So affected

Both hosts have such fake and affected delivery- they should be voice overs for cereal commercial not a high end podcasts. We just want the story- not your performance of it.
