Apple Podcasts5ShirleyivyUnited Kingdom7 months ago - How podcasts should be!
I’m a late comer to these podcasts and I absolutely love them. so well put together. I was gutted when I heard they were finishing but thankfully that was short lived.
The pods are so calming and lovely to listen to. It’s the antithesis of the hyped up, fast, fake energy pods out there.
I really enjoy the history, stories and simply the calming voices in all of these pods.
Thank you and well done.
