Customer Reviews
Love this podcast!
I am so excited to see where this podcast will be going! Can’t wait for the next episode
Regret the listen
I was looking forward to this podcast. I have no problem with strong opinions. I do have a problem with filthy language. I had to stop listening after the 50th f-bomb. It’s quite unnecessary in my opinion.
