  • Nice for walks and bike rides

    I found this while searching for something about camping to scare me out of an upcoming solo hike/camp trip.

    Enjoyed everything except the background of traffic and cars and trucks- I kept looking for cars coming up behind me…

  • Your Ad placement ruinns my listen

    Great stories and narration but can you give a little more f’s about your ad placements? I had to stop listening because of this. Its just so jarring to hear these much louder advertisements begin in the middle of your sentence.
