Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 11 ratings
  • Good info but too long

    I like the information shared - it’s nice to have something for awareness professionals. I find the pace a bit slow though, and most episodes far too long! 30-40min would be better please! I always find myself rushing through it on 1.5 speed…
