Customer Reviews
What’s that sound?
Enjoy the interviews but the sound effects/music are distracting. At many points they play over the person being interviewed. Perhaps making the sounds, which are supposed to enhance the story, in the background… would be best?
Doesn’t answer the question. Annoying music
Why the music? Can’t possibly listen to this. There’s nothing new in the first 10 minutes. We’ve heard it all. Thought you’d get to the nuts and bolts of the question.
Needs a Professional Presenter
Could be a tremendous show if you replace Siobhan with a decent presenter especially one who can pronounce words correctly.
Subject natter can be worthwhile but two stars for presentation and I’m being kind.
