  • Why you skipping episodes?

    Love the voice actor but am confused. Been listening to My Man Jeeves and all of a sudden they seem to be skipping episodes, going from Part 3-5, Part 5-8?? With no explanation lol, guessing it’s behind the pay wall but maybe worth mentioning :)

    Got attached to this story and was loving falling asleep to it but now I’m missing context 😭

  • Ad Free Isn’t

    What are we ad-free premium subscribers paying for, anyway, if we still get ads between each episode? All the oddball voices wake me up. What’s the point of listening to a “sleepy” bookshelf if it only wakes me up? I find this programming choice totally baffling. Elizabeth, you’re ruining a great thing; please end this madness! Thank you.
