Matcha espresso latte hot or cold is fab! You can request in starbucks or any coffee shop that serves matcha latte - it’s usually not in their written menu 🍵

WhyBloom?

I love the podcast, been listening for almost 10 years. Selects and the ads are getting on my nerves. Selects should be it’s own separate podcast, it’s really frustrating and I always have to mark them as played so it doesn’t auto play in the car.
Great content messed up with incompatible adverts

I love the “Stuff you should know” content. I have been listening for 10 Years. Friendly, respectful, the commentators bounce off each other. The challenge recently is the insertion of noisy, out of context adverts for other podcasts. They scream at you.
Easy listening
