- Love this podcast!
Glad I don't have ads. That would ruin this podcast for me. Or maybe just have them at the beginning

United States6 days ago - 1 flaw. Not their fault.
Apple Podcasts absolutely skewered this one. The required ads are actually the worst. The podcast itself is a 10. I just don’t get the ads and their points.
Apple Podcasts5freerealitycheck :3United States21 days ago - Can’t sleep without this now.
Not only are the topics so interesting, but they are so easy and clear to understand. I’m learning more with these than I ever learnt at school. I have some favourite episodes which I listen to a few times a week. It’s escapism and I wouldn’t be able to get to sleep without out them now. ❤️

United Kingdom21 days ago - Political Ad Has Nothing To Do With Sleep
I’ll save you a Google this “ex” t**s person got s**g**y as an adult in Texas, not as a child, and now runs commercials about it in Ohio. Can’t in good conscience support a podcast based in the UK that will take advertising dollars from people in the US trying to sway the election knowing they won’t have consequences.
