Ever coming back?
A podcast with dismal sound - and instead of shownotes, the listener is being told to "RATE us with 5 stars, REVIEW and SUBSCRIBE"...?! Um, no.
I love this podcast but this was not one of their best episodess. They did a rather poor job of telling Diane Downs' story; they glossed over most of the important parts. The quick, disjointed way the info was presented was rather uncharacteristic.
