  • Smug narrator

    Good details, but I can't deal with a smug, snarky tone the narrator uses to tell a story.

  • Enjoy this podcast…

    I just came across this podcast and I’ll continue to listen. I do wish the background music wasn’t so prominent. I have a hard time hearing every word because of the music. Maybe on my AirPods it will be better. Sometimes it gets quieter and it’s a relief to my brain to not have to separate the music from her voice.
