  • Robot voice

    The content is good and helpful, but the podcast itself is painful to listen to. It feels like a robot is doing all the speaking, it doesn’t flow and it’s not engaging. It’s also extremely slow and playing it on 1.3 speed doesn’t help much because the speech doesn’t sound natural.

  • Too Many Ads

    Says the same thing over and over again and the episodes are mostly ads. Too annoying to deal with for me.

  • A Must-Listen for Expecting Moms

    I’ve been listening to Vanessa’s podcast throughout my pregnancy, and it’s been such a comforting and informative resource. I emailed her asking to do a Q&A on hepatitis b given to newborns within 24 hrs-and she did! The episode was so thoughtful and helpful. Vanessa explains things in such a clear way that makes me feel calmer and confident in my decisions as a first time mom. I’m so grateful for the thought and care she puts into each episode.

  • Too Many Ads

    This is only a 30 minute episode and 10 minutes of it is ads. Not a whole lot of in depth information for the time spent and the giant ad breaks.
