  • Best podcast ever!

    I listen to a lot of podcasts but this is the best one ever! Genevieve does her homework and delivers with a calming, slightly mysterious and very comforting voice. I listen every morning on my walks and have listened to several of my favourite episodes several times over. Thank you, Genevieve. You have brought some joy back into my life.

  • The lady of Shalott

    Right along side Lorena McKennitt's sung version this Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem is recited so perfectly with the most fitting background music, Genevieve brought me to tears. The Highwaymen is another favorite! I would die! (Hehe)
