Unexpected surprise
I listened to the Hinterkeifack episode, not knowing what to expect and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them.
Although the hosts sound a bit more lighthearted than others, they are respectful and there are some funny moments that don’t take away from the story.
Great show but I cannot support right wing supporters
I have been listening to the podcast for many years - amazing show, but due to iHeart’s support of right wing politicians I am unsubscribing of all iHeart podcasts. Pity, but I know I will find a great replacement on Apple podcasts…
Pretty cool
I like it.
