  • I love this show

    I love this show so much I wish apple would let me follow it. If it wasn’t for Brooke’s email reminders I’d be in trouble. This is my all time favorite podcast but apple doesn’t care, every time a new show airs sure enough I look and it has been removed from shows I follow. Apple please fix this!

  • The most relaxing & uplifting podcast

    Your conversations make me smile, I love tucking in with a warm cup of tea and listening to your podcasts every week. They relax and revive me and get me excited to start the day. Also, I used to live in Sydney, Australia , still call it home, I’m currently living in Vancouver, British Columbia, so your conversations also make me feel quite nostalgic as well. I aspire to do what you do for my career in the future. It’s so lovely to be that beacon of hope that you are for me and I’m sure for many... more

  • Like being in their home

    I enjoy listening to the Tortoise all alone without my kids. I really need to concentrate as the sound is not always amazing, which adds to the quaint charm of it. more
