  • Information in Manageable Doses

    A podcast form of what used to be referred to as the, “Reader’s Digest version”. It gives the reader enough information to understand some important concepts regarding the subject matter and often times inspires me to dig into it a bit further. Contrary to other’s reviews, I find the narrator’s voice very easy to listen to. She has a soothing voice but provides enough inflection and intonation so that one doesn’t drift towards slumber.

  • Interesting but distracting

    Interesting but there is way too many loud sounds effects on top of people talking. It’s incredibly distracting. I won’t continue listening.
