- Just WOW!
I was hoping this podcast would be boring enough to put me to sleep but it is SO interesting and beautifully produced that I stayed up all night binge listening.
New respect for the ocean and it’s amazing inhabitants thank you!
This is a fantastic podcast for kids and adults alike. And I love the narrator, a beautiful soft voice any whale would be impressed by, and it sounds like she’s always smiling.
