The main podcast has improved tremendously, back to the standard of the early episodes, relaxing as well as informative with a nice rhythm and delivery.
Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the Found Sounds episodes. Anyone hoping to listen to seasonal sounds will be disappointed. It has gradually turned into a woke whinge fest and I think would be better in a separate podcast altogether with a different title to attract the type of listeners who like to listen to this sort of thing.

I like the idea of this podcast but the speaker is talking way too fast I do not find that relaxing at all! Would love this to continue but in a much slower format.
