  • Great, uplifting content

    I really enjoy hearing so many different people talk about a variety of topics and how they share personal life experiences on a more personal level.

    I do not like the “preview” at the beginning rather just start it and get to the beginning.

    I also don’t enjoy the ending music starting so soon before the guest is done speaking.

    I enjoy having something available that is short enough to listen to in one sitting.
