Mel doesn’t just rehash hea... more

As a long time listener of Crime Writers On podcast, I was happy when Rebecca and Mel started the Readathon. Now they treat us with this new podcast. Enjoying every episode they’ve put out, and look forward to each new drop.
I’m a new listener, making my way through the episodes. Mel’s storytelling is clear, concise, and easy to follow. Highly recommended.
Found this pod thru the Readathon, and have loved it since. Mel is exposing not just wild injustices, but the deeper seeded issues at the root of these problems. I started with Veronika Rodriguez, and have not missed an episode drop day since. This week’s Charlie Kirk episode was written so articulately and said so much, in a short time, that should be eye opening to all. Give this pod a listen, have an open mind, and ask the tough questions. Great work Mel!
This story will make you think you’re inside of a dream where you’re trying to scream but no one hears you. It’s infuriating, but extremely well done. Thanks Mel.
Such a great listen on the way to work, and amazing voice actors.
