  • Background music should be just that

    I really want to listen to these stories as I like the narration, however, the background music - which I love - is anything but in the background and completely detracts from the spoken word. I tried three different stories and had to give up. All I could hear was the music. It’s a shame because I think this could be a really good podcast.
