  • Great show

    Love your show Aaron but I urge you to revisit your take on Candace. To accuse her of grifting off of her best friend’s assassination is quite the charge. Please do better homework and listen to her full podcasts, not just clips. After you verbally attacked her character you went on to bring up the very same oddities and inconsistencies of this case that she is bringing up on her shows.
