Great, but why the spoilers??

I drive tractor for 8hrs a day; podcasts are a lifesaver. Listened to several of these episodes and I really enjoy the thoughtful questions by Alex, and the engaging storytelling of Steph. But there are spoilers within many episodes as they compare to other stories. I was SO looking forward to the “crocodile flap” episode and it was suddenly and completely spoiled in a pet story…

Entertaining and educational! Great listen!

Admittedly, I like the episodes better that have both Steph and Alex hosting. But even the episodes with just Steph are wonderful. I absolutely love her tone of voice. One thing I find very unique about her - she’s such a great storyteller. There’s enthusiasm and drama without being over the top. I feel like so many podcasts nowaday are either really dry, or completely forced. This one is not. It’s right in the middle of that spectrum - where it should be! Great to listen to, exciting, educational, and sometimes just plain silly. Overall, it’s such a refreshing pace when it comes to podcasts. Highly recommend!
