Customer Reviews
Love it!
Found this pod randomly while following podcast hashtags and a follow request on my Insta (when I had it) while self promoting my own and thought: “Why yes... yes I will listen.” And I’m glad I did! The wait for the first season was totally worth it; Nikki does a phenomenal job writing, narrating, and producing this podcast! I love the backstory she provides us with right before she dives into the stuff that her “dear friends” are, what I would consider, experts on the topic. Great job, Nikki! I am recommending this show to all my friends!
Interesting show!
I listened to the nature episode first and though it to be so interesting. I’ve never heard a show like hers before and tbh she has such an amazing podcast voice. It was really relaxing to listen to. Def recommend!
Amazing!
Excellent topics that are researched well at that! Always looking forward to the next episode. Do yourself a favor and subscribe right now
