Customer Reviews
Show is top notch, not so much for the new host
Where is Hannah? Her story telling was so interesting, informative, and her voice was soothing even when listening to tough subject matters. No offense to the new host, I just prefer Hannah. I may pause my listening until Hannah returns
Missing Hannah…
Really upset to hear about how the Opportunist was sold. No offense to the new host, but nothing will compare to Hannah’s voice and storytelling. It’s gonna be very hard to acclimate if I’m able to at all.
Kind of rude to change this podcast
I loved the tone and style of the previous podcast. The new episodes are not the same and I’m so disappointed. Not cool to just change it and keep the name and branding
