Customer Reviews
SO looking forward to it!
I’m really looking forward to season 2!
Gina is easy (and fun!) to listen to and does a wonderful job making herself sound relatable and comfortable on the air.
The content is great and it brings me back to my own midwestern... ish... roots!
Great work, KCUR! Keep projects like this going!
Was feeling homesick and I found this
I'm from Illinois and I currently live in Texas. BIG culture shock, and I literally searched "Midwest" and found this gem. The subjects and stories aren't strictly Midwest in theme, but it made me feel less homesick so that is something... anyways, Keep this going!
Tough topics handled right.
Surprisingly phenomenal. Sometimes there are topics I cringe at listening to, but when i make it past a minute or so with Gina Kaufman walking me down the path I find I make it to a whole new level of understanding! Great show.
