Customer Reviews
Loved it all!
Listened to both seasons of this show as I was in nearby cities, very fun to connect with it like that!
Incredibly Interesting.
Listened to both seasons. Audibly gasped when I heard it was cancelled. Was fully looking forward to her coverage and perspectives of another city!
Biggest Little City in the World
I’m so disappointed that this podcast was canceled. The way you covered Northern Nevada was insane! I didn’t realize how big of an underbelly my hometown had. Thanks for all of your hard work!! I know I’m late to the party, but I’m so glad I found you and binged it one day at work.
