- Mixed feelings
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.

Love this podcast through and through. I’ve felt numb for so long in life and the combination of soundscapes and the insights from artists is healing. Thank you for making this and please continue to. It helps me on my journey to finding my own art practise again. This is just magic. 🧡
