I’ve tried many times to listen but give up after 5 minutes. She needs to have someone else voice the show. Her’s is like fingernails on a chalkboard
I’ve listened to many many episodes and every time it gets harder and harder to listen. Courtney really needs to listen to herself and realize that the valley girl inflection in her voice with the rising pitch is simply annoying want to hear the story, but I want to avoid you. I truly feel like I’m listening to a teenage girl ramble. I’m also glad to see that I’m not alone by reading these reviews. Please take this as constructive criticism and don’t believe everyone just telling you what you wa... more
Too many ads vs the amount of content. I wouldn’t mind if the episodes were longer but 32 minute story with 4 ads is ridiculous
Well prepared and searched, but a bit lacking of emotion and tone of a story teller, no difference between the story and advertising.
I really tried to like this podcast but I can’t. The inflections of the hosts voice are jut too distracting. EVERY word before a comma or end of a sentence is raised in tone. Think annoying 90s valley girl. It was too distracting. Also the pace is so slow and the narrative very repetitive. Unfollowing.
