Customer Reviews
Great listening
I really enjoyed the Happy Face Series. It was well done. Great interviews and follow up throughout, with good perspectives from many aspects explored. The second season ended without follow up though?
There were heaps of ads, way more than a usual podcast, actually took up a lot of the running time of each episode. Easy enough to skip 3 minutes for each set (and not enough to deter me from listening as the content was so gripping).
Adds galore
I am enjoying this podcast, the content is worth the listen. There are just way too many adds for the overall listening experience to be enjoyable. The adds are annoying, repetitive, have annoying voices and aren’t things that even interest me.
Get on with it!
The story could be interesting if it was narrated and structured properly but it is so slow and drawn out. The host spends the whole series talking about herself and kind of avoids the victims.
And just a lot of ads that make it really unenjoyable.
