Customer Reviews
Hey guys, I love u
This is the BEST podcast. I love it and listen to it to calm down when I am anxious. I sit in my room and stim and use thinking putty and fidgets and listen to this.
Love,
Jocelyn K, the GOAT and The GOAT (Simone biles)’s BIGGEST FAN!!!! P.s. Mom why do you make me sign my reviews JOSS!!!!
Poor Audio makes it hard to listen to
Great content but the audio quality is awful. There have been some episodes (the mangowurzel episode comes to mind) that are unlistenable because the background music completely drowns out the speaker. With the interviews, you can barely hear one voice while another blows out your eardrums. It’s a shame because I love the topics and the content but I find myself listening less and less because it’s just not pleasant on the ears.
Fan
I have always loved the Mother Earth magazine and think I’m going to be a bigger fan of the podcast!!!
