  • ASMR for the soul

    Every pod should pause to identify bird sounds. Calming AND silly.

  • Tom is a lovely person

    I like Tom very much and I've enjoyed most of these podcasts, mostly other lovely people chatting with him. It only gets annoying when there is lots of hysterical schoolgirl giggling over something silly (as with Lou Beckett for one although there have been others).
