P. Moor ,

Great content, host is boring

The content is always varied and interesting, but the host is so boring and monotonous that I find it hard to listen to.

Maybe don’t tell certain stories in a happy go lucky / business as usual tone

The host seemed alil too pleased to tell me about the three black students killed in the Orangeburg massacre. Very off putting.
