  • India Rakusen? Immediately yes.

    I’m beyond excited for the latest series from the brilliant host/storyteller India Rakusen. I devoured her last two podcasts — “Witch” and “28ish Days Later” — and I deeply appreciate her dedication to rebalancing herstory. She’s spins a great yarn, so you don’t even realize how much you’re learning. I feel like I owe her tuition at this point! Love from a big fan in Canada.

  • Great podcast very irritating advert before it

    Do you really need to put this long advert about comedy programmes choices before every single episode of ‘Child’? It’s actually putting me off listening to the podcast.
