Tracie also recommended the Man Enough podcast - co-host Justin Baldoni is Blake Lively’s accused perpetrator and co-host Jamey Heath is one of his accused conspirators.  Their female co-host Liz Plank quit the podcast as soon as these accusations came to light, and the Man Enough podcast appears to be defunct. Since we recorded this episode, Tracie has also read about problematic behavior on Blake Lively's part.  She has no idea who is telling the truth in this situation, but in any case, she no longer recommends either of these podcasts.
