Customer Reviews
Great information, grating vocal fry
I really like the topics chosen and the length of these podcasts. I heard a news story a few years ago about vocal fry and I can’t I hear it now. It drives me a bit crazy how much vocal fry she has. Maybe she could do a podcast on the phenomenon of vocal fry.
Not always scientific
Sometimes presents unscientific claims, but don't worry, these claims are highly attractive politically 🙄 I wanted a science podcast please.
Love it
I love the information. The current host is so cheerful.
