Customer Reviews
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.
Great podcast!
I look forward to each new episode!
