  • Not great

    Agree with other reviews presenter Liam is not good. aggressive, talks over people. Quite a condescending tone sometimes. Turned me off the show especially season 2 they seem to be reaching to fill content so he is talking a lot to fill space way too much.

Also, it shows…there is no end for Amy, fo... more

  • Please edit

    Oh my goodness, I would really like to listen to this podcast in it’s entirety, but I just can’t stand the narrators voice patterns. Surely it won’t be too difficult to edit it out and replace it. I think this story will and podcast will gain more followers if we could bare to listen past the first episode like myself.
