Well, this episode didn't age well

Revisado: 12-07-22

Unnecessary profanity -- the badge of proving this is Leftist speak. The 'Hunter Biden Laptop Story' was never about 'Dick Pics', bad as that topic alone is, it is more about national security and the Big Man owned by the CCP, which unleashed Wokesters do not think that topic is an issue at all. Elon Musk was and never had been a right wing fanatic. This discussion is the one story that didn't age well in this podcast... Like how 'Elon has routinely been unsuccessful in business once again loses his ass in his latest acquiring of Twitter,' WHAT? So unsuccessful he is the richest person in the world kind of failure? That kind of misguided failure? I predict Twitter will become a massive success. in just a month, it has already proven to have significantly improved in users with a fraction of the staff, and instead of stamping out free speech, asks users live what kind of company they want Twitter to be? Trump has never said "Set the Constitution aside," and anoint me king. For any of Walker's fallibilities one only has to look at the Woke voted-for 'not fit to serve, but is,' condition of Fetterman and / or Biden's Brain. It amuses me to no end how many Jews do exactly what Ye accuses them of doing immediately after his AJ interview, and every one takes the actual context of the interview out of context through ad nauseum clips of single words as -- irony of all ironies --Ye proves the new "N-Word" is co-opted from Blacks by Jews for their own use. (No one on this podcast admits to watching the actual full AJ interview for reference.) For example, Nick Fuentez admitted during the interview that he was not an invited guest at the Trump dinner, he tailgated the coattails of Ye to gain access. For all the Trump-hate and following Trump's demise podcasting, technically, years later you STILL cannot call him a criminal. Through dozens of investigations, criminal investigations, and raids, Trump smells like a rose and Leftists hate that more than life itself. And at least follow enshrined Woke rules, at least one can call Ye by the name he asks to be called. Talk about right projection? The funny thing is, facts have proven over and over again how the Left wears Projection like the best badge of honor. Just checking into the other side as "I really try to get a full picture of who these people really are."

A full life story, not just about 'The Big Tiny'

Revisado: 08-30-21

Excellent narration, excellent engaging story, even as each chapter changed topics completely, yet kept a good sequential theme in the story. Excellent visual descriptions and vignette scenarios. Author's tone of story is always one of finding solutions and overcoming adversity of the moment. I have lived "tiny" for a while, and greatly enjoyed listening to the accurate descriptions of what ot is really like living tiny. I listened to this while story off-grid while camping with spouse and kitty in my 115 square foot converted-to-tiny shuttle bus in the Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina. We are upgrading to a mansion-sized 280-square foot tiny home in early 2022 (currently under construction). Maybe I am biased because I am already living this life, but there was nothing about this story I did not enjoy and could relate to everything presented in the stories as the Big Tiny story is extremely plausible in every detail.

Just released, about 80% through this story

Revisado: 10-11-17

Side note that prompted me to write this review: How can anyone give this straight across 1's on a the same-day release for a book this long?

Erin Bennett as the narrator is amazingly good, an excellent reader with no quirks at all. The of this story just flows. I would gladly listen to any story she narrates. (I'm about 10 hours into this story and, while I'd keep listening to it as I have all day long, I'm going to savor the final chapters by waiting until tomorrow to finish it up.)

Follows the lives of a handful of young adult Code Girls, female crypto-analysts living in the DC/VA area (Arlington Farms boarding house for women) just before and during WWII. Story explains how they grew up, how they ended up working in the highest top secret vaults in DC. In story fashion, follows their recruitment, hiring, training, and what their daily lives are like. Friendships develop, 10's of 1000s of women in these government work roles 'invade' DC as government employees. Although many women filled many government office jobs in more traditional roles or as Congressional staffers and aides, this story is about the top secret Code Girls and their dedication to the War effort working as crypto-analysts.

Couldn't give this a straight across 5's because a little bit of disconnected story line trying to keep track of where the some of the crypto girls are working, who they are working for; some disconnect in tying together how all the cogs of different government and military agencies handled sometimes the same kind of work. But the main theme of the day to day life of the very important work these women did shines through and makes this a great story about a small, but important segment these women played regarding the ultimate outcome of US WWII History. A bit of disconnection in trying to piece in the older history of the women in computing and cryptography work roles prior to this era. Those who aren't into complex analysis and code-breaking might not find this part of the story fitting very well with the day to day perils of regular life of these girls when they are away from work. A bit of disconnection in the story explaining cryptography and how difficult it is -- I enjoyed it, but I'm kind of geeky like that. Adding some regular dates and chapter titles that distinguish the reference between the different girls' stories and the side-history and historical context that brought these women to their jobs would have made this story a cleaner, more straight-forward story. An included pdf extra attachment with the photos of the girls and captions helps piece together this somewhat disjointed story of the story of several of the girls, but primarily the telling of the stories of the friendship of Dot and Ruth (nicknamed 'Crow').

A great listen for anyone interested in women working in crypto-analysis; what it must have been like being very smart, college-educated, but still a bit naive jumping into the DC/VA big-city, top-secret world of being a US government code breaker (of Japanese, German, and every other country codes that the US wanted these girls to decode messages from).

A political, feminist story??? As political as the USA was from the mid-1930s-WWII era. Political with regard to the fact that ALL of these girls were government employees holding top secret clearances and had a strong desire to work for the government to help the war effort -- if you are offended by women who wanted to work this kind of job rather than settle down and stay at home to be mothers and raise kids and not work, this story will not be for you. If you would like a vision of what the DC area must have been like circa WWII era, with women at work, and women asserting their capabilities outside of a of traditional women work roles (teacher, secretary, nurse, babysitter, housemaid) this is an inspiring story told from the perspective of living in that time, in that location, from the perspective of the girls who lived this life. Enjoy!
