No bueno
I tried listening to a few episodes but the constant interrupting of the two hosts is intolerable. Pair that with a very one-sided view of Catholicism and motherhood that doesn’t dare to venture outside the box of these women’s own views and personal lives, and you’ve got a recipe for a bad Catholic podcast.
The show content is great BUT
Oh my goodness. I canNOT listen to people who constantly interrupt each other!!! I truly cannot stand it. Christy, I know you say you have this “difficult personality,” but please stop using that as an excuse to interrupt when you feel super strongly about something. Which is like all the time. I stop listening to the show and delete episodes when they interrupt each other too much.
Just found this, in love!!
I read Haley Stewart’s book, The Grace of Enough, which lead me here. Listened to the most recent episode on feminism! So
So good!
