  • A wonderful listen

    This podcast is amazing! Suzy does a very good job, and has a very calm voice. Even though I’m a teen in the USA, it’s still fun to listen to this podcast, plus Suzy has a wonderful accent that’s very pleasant. I love doing photography, wildlife art, and have a passion for waterfowl and this podcast is just what I need while doing paintings. I highly recommend this podcast for anyone!
