    Dear Lord, I really wanted to hear Dearbhla but constant interruptions and constant over positive affirming by Davina - Irish people don’t like being fawned over. Uncomfortable

  • Fantastic Podcast - no need for the cliffhanger intros

    Class podcast with a great host, interesting guests and beautiful conversations. Just the cliffhanger intros to every single episode are unnecessary and make it feel a bit low-quality / tacky - there’s no need for that at all!
