Have listened to every ep!
Danni, you are such an engaging host and I live your podcast! I’ve listened to every episode and some a few times 😊 keep ‘em coming!
From Australia
Hi Danni. Firstly, thank you. For your content, but can I also say, for the mellifluous tones of your truly beautiful voice. Of course your kindness, patience, insight and intelligence… know that your are caring for a worldwide community. But your voice. It is almost as much of a reason I wait impatiently for your next episode, as it is for the incredible stories. If only you were available to produce all of my favourite podcasts I would be listening all day. Know that you have a gift that is a diamond to be treasured. Thank you again Danni. And love from far away 💜xxxx
Loved all....apart from ‘The Blue Chair’
Love this podcast and Dani’s style of questioning. However, the most recent episode was appalling, the interviewee was utterly self absorbed and irritating. I was left simply not caring about her situation, or the fact she sat on a chair for days!
