“The topics are interesting but I'm put off by the overuse of music. I want to hear about the issue, not constant clips of music. It could be a really great podcast if there was more focus and discussion about the issue.”
“I hear Karla speak at an event about her experience podcasting and how she started off wothout a mic and had no idea what she doing but just kept going with it.”
