Worth a listen — but please stop the backing music!

Minnie Driver is a thoughtful and interesting interviewer and the format works well. One quibble: the backing music sets my teeth on edge! Please make it stop!

Wonderful xx

I just found out about your podcast after hearing you on Therapy Works with Julia Samuel this week. I love your podcast, Minnie and especially enjoyed the episode with your son, Henry. You are both awesome ❤️🙏

Love it…BUT

I do love this show…Minnie is fantastic as are the guests…BUT…the ads are just too often and break up the flow of these amazing conversations. I understand ads are ‘necessary’…maybe best to have all the ads in a 5mins slot half way through the conversations…?
