  • Pretty good. Marks off for having to pay

    The Mushroom Cook was well done I thought. I’ve listened to them all at least twice. I quite enjoyed the journalists’ POV. It wasn’t overdone and in fact knowing that they were privy to so much more than what’s was reported was fascinating. The newer Easey Street costs money so I haven’t bothered and I took off a star. Some of the other comments about a nasally voice are unnecessary. Overall great job.

  • Couldn’t listen

    This was difficult to listen to so I stopped after about 2 episodes. Some of the content was interesting however it was extremely insensitive how focused the story was on the media and the journalists getting the scoop. The Mushroom Case Daily by the ABC is far better.

  • Stilted and media-centric

    This podcast shows no empathy at all for anyone other than the media. The presenters also desperately need some training in oration - the presentation is so flat and unemotional and the details included are boring (honestly, I don’t care if someone had a tissue in their hand or took a sip of water - ridiculous)

  • Irritating narration

    The content seemed ok but the lead narrator had such and exaggerated TikTok croak that anything more than 10 minutes was unbearable so quickly removed
