Listen every morning
I love this podcast, I always look forward to listening to it in the morning as I get ready for work.
I was disappointed in the reporting done on Ukraine that the Russian pronunciation of Kiev was used for the Captial city instead of the Ukrainian pronunciation of Kyiv.
It’s all Trump fall!!!
……………………………
You had my attention until today.
I have been enjoying listening for several months now. But today I was listening and then suddenly after the episode it went to bonus episode which was in conversation with #46.
I’m actually shocked that you give air time to the person who is clearly against all things pure and good and who is deeply mentally unstable. And besides someone who has intentionally caused a lot of deep grief and pain to millions of people. A true tyrant with absolutely no good intentions. So I won’t be listening to your podcast any longer.
