Great stories, but . . .

The host is a bit “precious.” It’s like she’s trying to feel emotions for us. Just tell the stories. We will have our reactions. You have a great thing here. Keep going . . . trust yourself to tell the story without the emotional delivery.
The about section…

Really… as she tells stories of the dead people. They couldn’t put ANYTHING more respectable or anything. I mean come on the stories would be something I wanna hear but just using them but with a different host. And not trying to pulls the feels. It’s too forced
Great guests, dramatic host

Excellent stories shared by guests. Stephanie is super annoying. Stop trying to sing! Hard to describe your narration. Overly dramatic, horrible. Please, just read your script, remove the exasperation!
Stories are good

But the narrator is over the top gushing over of the subjects. It’s very distracting.
