Apple Podcasts5Maximillian foster hiUnited Statesa month ago - Please stop cursing
The stories are good, but there’s no need to for all the cursing, especially blaspheming the Lord Jesus Christ. Can’t listen with my children.
Apple Podcasts1Davey boy jonesUnited Statesa month ago - Naff
Not sure when these two British male climbers became stilted female Americans. Buy Touching the void and read or listen to it. It’s a brilliant story. The story telling here is truly naff.
Apple Podcasts1RIT KENDALLUnited Statesa month ago - Potty Mouths
My whole family enjoys these stories. We have young children. I can’t tell you how often we have to turn it off and tell our kids, “these folks have potty mouths. We don’t talk like that.” I know a ton of the dialogue is made up so there’s really no good excuse for the language. You would only gain listeners by excluding the cursing. No one is going to stop listening because of a lack of curse words, but plenty of people WILL stop listening because of them.
