Reviews
- Has potential but the narrator is cringe
I want to like this podcast so bad but the girl telling the story is so bad. Maybe you can restart it with a regular voice? Otherwise… I’m out

United Statesa month ago - Redo it
Story sounded interesting but couldn’t get past the host, she sounds a little more normal at 1.3 speed but still, kind of unbearable. If Taylor swift can re record her albums, maybe that’s an option here as well.
Apple Podcasts1IneverwritereviewsbutihadtoUnited States6 months ago - Terrible to listen to
The host’s voice was way overdone. Couldn’t make it past episode 1.
Apple Podcasts1HBICTXUnited States6 months ago - Interesting story hard to listen
I started listening to this podcast because it sounds like a very interesting story. Unfortunately the narrator is not an easy listen. She speaks with a very exaggerated tone. Way over the top, just way too much. I wish she could’ve just told the story or had actual voice actors. Couldn’t get past episode one.
Apple Podcasts2annabanana67United States6 months ago - Uncomfortable narration
This host/narrator is too much. I wish she got help with this because I want to know the story but her delivery and “acting” and almost spoken word performance for this gave me such bad second hand embarrassment that I had to stop.
