Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 69 ratings
  • Awful computer generated narration

    Great content, these types of shows are my go to for bedtime. Helps shut the brain off and relax. However my only real complaint is the worse than awful computer generated narration. It is unlistenable and seemingly extended. (Perhaps it simply because I disdain the “voice” so much)
