Customer Reviews
Informative but....
Informative but too much at times. I’ll literally skip several minutes per question.
Wanted to like this podcast but…
I find myself becoming impatient with the unnecessary chitchat at the beginning of the show - and annoyed by Lizzie Post’s constant giggling throughout. Other listeners have mentioned it but those comments doesn’t seem to make a difference. Has great potential but needs some serious streamlining.
Good show
I do enjoy the show. It’s a bit drawn out at times
