Customer Reviews
Great Show
Met you at Podfest and this is my first listen of your podcast and immensely enjoy your content! Great work Danielle, Marsh Naidoo
ItineRARIES
The word is Itine-RARY and this woman keeps pronouncing the word "Itinney-Ary" completely dropping the second R in the word. I don't know if she just doesn't realize that there are 2 letter R's in the word or not. But I could not listen to her podcast after the first 2 minutes, or the itinney-ary.
What more can I say?
Danielle, your voice is easy to listen to and your stories leave me wanting more! Keep up the great work!
