Always well done

I love Uncover but the first episode of Hunting Warhead blew my mind. Great job on a very sensitive topic. I look forward to the rest of the season.

Cat lady

I’m going to listen but I’m only giving 3 stars as I was appalled that you hissed at a kitty that wanted in. Rude and unkind.

Great job all the around. You’ve become one of my favorites. Thank you for putting in the hard work to get interviews, facts & bringing attention to so much pain.
