  • Would give 5 were it not for ad read issue

    My goto daily email. Like the cast. However, the way you read the ads is scammy feeling. It’s accepted convention to say something like and now a word from our sponsor. The way you do it leaves me confused at first and irked thereafter. So now I have a negative feeling associated with Whisper Flow, likely not what they want?
