  • Too much competing music

    I like this podcast; please stop playing music while you and your guests are speaking so I can continue listening, for me the music is really distracting and detracts from what you’re saying.

  • Overall entertaining.

    I love the length of the podcasts and the podcaster’s delivery and subject matter. It does sound at like times like she’s pushing an agenda but overall entertaining listen.

  • Strange intonations

    Hello! I enjoy this podcast. The stories are well and respectfully told. however the newer episodes seem to have an almost over the top ‘emotional’ voice done by the host. Like really emphasising or pushing certain words in an emotional tone sounding like she might cry which I find makes me want to turn off.

  • Who cranked up the SPEED of her voice???

    I don’t think this is the natural speed of Kylie Low’s voice. The playback is so fast that it is hard to listen to, and the story gets lost. It is an unnatural speed. Not everyone needs to speak at hyper speed.
