Twenty episodes. Phil pointed out on air that most podcasts never make it to episode ten, and Amania Saluste took a second to let that land. Five years in the YouTube streets, twenty weeks in the studio, and the mission hasn’t changed. Ask the question. Show the receipts. Let the audience decide. So for Episode […]
Everybody has a microphone now. A podcast, a livestream, a phone and a ring light.

And yet, somehow, a shot was fired from […]
There is an old show Amania has been returning to lately, the original Charlie’s Angels. Before it was anything else, it was a show about investigators. Three women, overqualified and underused, given a chance by a man named Charlie to do the work they were built for. Every week they went out and asked questions. […]
