Customer Reviews
Sibling Abuse
This is a story long overdue. It was delivered sensitively & also with honesty. My only criticism is that even though it is about sibling abuse, the referencing, language & narratives gave the impression that sibling abuse leaves female victims & male perpetrators. In reality it is in both directions. That really needs to be acknowledged. That aside, Liz Roberts was amazing & brave.
Sad decline of a good podcast
I’ve noticed how anti-trans and pro-Tory this podcast has become in recent months. I’ve subscribed for 3 or so years but today decided to unsubscribe. Leaving my review as a parting gift 😊
Got very boring - preferred old format
The nursery episode is so relevant - I have 2 children in nursery and was so glad to see it being discussed.
I had to turn it off when Manveen was speaking to kids and asking them about dinosaurs. Clearly trying to mix up the format but has lost some gravitas and rigour in doing so
