Fan Mail
You two have the most outstanding podcast and the most unusual. I'm writing to complain about the fact that, as it was in the 19 th century and earlier, it is now commonplace to advertise completely ineffective products on Instagram and other sites on the web. I have a SHELF full of creams that we're supposed to shrink eye bags, lift facial skin, smooth wrinkles and not one of them does anything. I've spent about 500. in total and Many women have spent far, far more. Please do a show on this. Thanks! All this stuff comes from China. One of the Money Back schemes goes like this: they offer 100% money back but they want an invoice number from you first. Thing is they never had an invoice number.
