  • Over ADVERTISING

    We enjoy putting a podcast on, lying down, relax, close our eyes…

    The ADS are off putting. The storytelling never realized because the 8 minute blasts 💥 of ADs being an unsettling distraction over and over? Turn off, delete podcast. Another awaits discovery …

  • Good but…

    I’m only on episode 3, so I might be a bit bias, ands it’s a great podcast, but there’s SO many ads… like probably over 7 minutes of ads per episode. Seems like a bit much.

    I might update this later once I’ve listened to more.
